Comparison of the cytokine-induced migratory response between primary and subcultured populations of rat mesenchymal bone marrow cells

The types of cells in populations of primary and subcultured rat MBMCs were different, and the distribution of each cell population appeared to be changed by the culture conditions. The cell migration effect by PDGF-bb, BMP-2, and FGF-2 differed between the primary and subcultured MBMCs.
