摘要:
A sub-population of HES cells is identified which is positive for specific HES markers. These cell types are identified by expression of particular GCTM-2 antigens. A method based on the identification of GCTM-2 can differentiate between substantially undifferentiated or differentiated cell populations. Spontaneous differentiation often occurs in HES cultures resulting in non-homogeneous cell cultures. The invention also provides further sub populations of cells within differentiated cultures of HES cells that are SCL or epithelial in nature.
摘要:
The present invention provides a cell marker that is characterized by binding to a GCTM-5 antibody of active fragment. The cell marker identifies a unique sub-population of stem cells that show characteristics of hepatic or pancreatic stem cells or hepatic or pancreatic progenitor cells. More specifically the marker is an early liver marker, which could prove a useful tool for the isolation and identification of liver and pancreatic progenitors for both diseased adult liver and differentiating human embryonic stem cells.
