CD34+ cells represent highly functional endothelial progenitor cells in murine bone marrow.

BACKGROUND: Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were shown to have angiogenic potential contributing to neovascularization. However, a clear definition of mouse EPCs by cell surface markers still remains elusive. We hypothesized that CD34 could be used for identification and isolation of functional...
