Phenotypic characterization of human hematopoietic stem cells

Abstract

Mature hematopoietic cells of all lineages are derived from committed progenitor cells, which in turn are thought to originate from pluripotential stem cells. On the basis of in vitro clonogenic assay systems, different stages within this progenitor or stem cell compartment have been identified. Using cell separation techniques, it has been shown that all in vitro clonogenic cells are included in the minor population of bone marrow or peripheral blood cells expressing the CD34 molecule. CD34 positive cells have further been subdivided into subsets of clonogenic cells by their coexpression of certain characteristic molecules. Based on these immunophenotypic features, it has been shown that most immature multipotential clonogenic cells may be separated from the majority of already lineage committed colony forming cells. Additionally, within the committed progenitor compartment, molecules have been described allowing the specific identification of the earliest stages of granulomonocytic, erythroid or lymphoid cell differentiation. Apart from these lineage or differentiation stage specific molecules, CD34+ cells express a number of molecules that are supposed to function as cytoadhesion structures or cytokine receptors enabling the...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
