Pluripotent Stem Cell Isolation Kit, mouse – ES and iPS …

Background information

Expression of markers, such as the transcription factors Oct-4 and Nanog or the surface carbohydrate SSEA-1 (CD15), are mainly used to characterize pluripotency of mouse cells on a molecular level. Nevertheless, expression dynamics of these markers are rather low, limiting their potential to discriminate between pluripotent and early differentiated cells. Our scientists have identified a cell surface marker that is strongly up-regulated during the early differentiation of mouse ES and iPS cells in culture. The novel Pluripotent Stem Cell Isolation Kit, mouse, was established on this basis and allows to easily deplete the early differentiated cells resulting in homogeneous pluripotent stem cell cultures.

Depletion of early differentiated cells enables:
