Hi,
I have problem with specific markers for fibroblast and myofibroblast for valve interstitial cells. I want to do FACS separtion those two population and culture them.
Mainly I though about CD90 (+), DDR2 (+), FSP1 (+) CD45 (-), CD31 (-). In some publications I found information about CD29, CD44, CD326, MyHC-Apla1. Non of them are specific for the valve cells. This is main problem.
Of course alfa SMA, and SM22 for myofibroblast.
If someone can help me will be great!
