摘要:
The invention describes novel compositions of glycans, glycomes, from human embryonic stem cells, and especially novel subcompositions of the glycomes with specific monosaccharide compositions and glycan structures. The invention is further directed to methods for modifying the glycomes and analysis of the glycomes and the modified glycomes. Furthermore, the invention is directed to stem cells carrying the modified glycomes on their surfaces. The glycomes are preferably analysed by profiling methods able to detect reproducibly and quantitatively numerous individual glycan structures at the same time. The most preferred type of the profile is a mass spectrometric profile. The invention specifically revealed novel target structures and is especially directed to the development of reagents recognizing the structures.

摘要:
The present invention discloses a method of evaluating the status of a stem cell preparation comprising the step of detecting the presence of a glycan structure or a group of glycan structures in said preparation. The detection step can be performed by the use of a lectin specific to a glycan structure of interest.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and materials to modulate and grow stem cells by contacting stem cells with a binder recognizing terminal glycan structures of stem cells. The modulation can be morphological change, change in differentiation status, biological status or adherence. The materials provided in the present invention are also useful to screen such a binding agents and binders.
摘要:
The invention describes specific sialylated structures present on human stem cells and cell populations derived thereof. The invention is especially directed to methods to control the status of stem cells by observing changes in sialylation of the cells; and control of potential contaminations of biological materials; and reagents and methods used in connection with the cells in order to avoid alterations of the cell glycosylation by contaminating materials. The invention is further directed to novel stem cells, the glycosylation of which has been specifically altered.
