Flow cytometric analysis of progenitor cell counts. Representative flow-cytometric analysis of peripheral blood stained with monoclonal antibodies against human fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeledCD34, peridinin chlorophyII protein (PerCP)-labeled CD45, allophycocyanin (APC)-labeled CD133, phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled VEGFR-2 and phycoerythrin-cyanine 7 (PE-Cy7)-labeled CXCR4. First, mononuclear cells (MNC) were gated on a forward scatter (FSC) vs. side scatter (SSC) (A). Second, CD34+ cells were gated within MNC gate (B). CD45dim cells were selected within CD34+ gate. Last, CD133, VEGFR2 and CXCR4 expression was gated within CD34 + CD45dim gate (D, E, F).

Progenitor cells and coronary flow reserve. Relationship between log-transformed (base 2) circulating progenitor cell counts and coronary flow reserve (CFR). The scatterplots depict correlations between CFR and (A) CD34+, (B) CD34+/CD133+, (C) CD34+/CXCR4+ and (D) CD34+/VEGFR2+ cells. Pearson correlations and associated p-values are displayed.
