Stem cell cancer markers

特許 権利維持 Data over recent years have indicated the existence of CSCs in various solid tumors. For isolating CSCs from solid and hematological tumors, markers specific for normal stem cells of the same organ are commonly used. Nevertheless, a number of cell surface markers have proved useful for isolation of subsets enriched for CSC including CD133 (also known as PROM1), CD44, CD24, EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule, also known as epithelial specific antigen, ESA), THY1, ATP-binding cassette B5 (ABCB5).,[38] and CD200.
