Day-5 and derivative day-8 cells incubated without rhIFNγ were analyzed for FasL and CD71 by flow cytometry after permeabilization (experiments no. 2 through 4). In experiment no. 1, only FasL was analyzed. Aliquots of day-5 and day-8 cells were cultured in plasma clots to obtain the ECFC number among the total cells.
