Table 3 Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cell quality control parameters

QC parameters
Cell count and viabilityCell viability > 90. Cell count: Varies according to the patient
ImmunophenotypingCD90, CD44, CD105, CD73 ≥ 95%. CD45, CD34, CD19, CD11B, HLA-DR, CD14 ≤ 2% (Figure 1A)
Gene expressionSOX2, OCT4, TERT, REX1, NES, BMP2, RUNX2, PPARG, JAG1, ICAM1, VCAM1, VIM. It was concluded that there was strong positivity in genes with Ct values lower than 29, positive in genes with values between 30-37, and poor expression in samples with Ct values between 38-40 or there may be environmental contamination (Figure 1B)
TelomeraseThe result should be lower than that of the positive control (Figure 1C)
MycoplasmaNegative
Endotoxin< 0.0625 EU/mL
