In 2006, the International Society for Cellular Therapy proposed minimal phenotypic criteria for the definition
of cultured MSCs. The main criteria for MSCs are: (1) adhesion to plastic; (2) more than 95 % of the MSC
population must express CD73, CD90, and CD105 and their population must lack expression of CD34, CD45,
CD11b or CD14, CD79 or CD19, and HLA class II (less than 2 % should express these); and (3) tri-lineage
