Stem Cell Related Patent Number US5035994
| Title: | Human stem cells and monoclonal antibodies | | Inventors: | Civin, Curt I.; Baltimore, MD, USA | | Summary: | Described herein are methods of isolating pluripotent lympho-hematopoietic stem cells from marrow or a blood suspension using monoclonal antibodies. The invention relates to the use of monoclonal antibodies that recognize a stage-specific antigen on immature human marrow cells and methods of their use in isolating cell suspensions from human blood and marrow which in turn may be employed in bone marrow transplantation. Further disclosed are properties of cell suspensions containing human pluripotent lympho-hematopoietic stem cells, and uses thereof. Therapeutic applications are provided in gene therapy, bone marrow transplantation, and in the treatment of leukemia and cancer. This invention represents a continuation of other applications filed by the same assignee and inventor. | | Abstract: | Monoclonal antibodies that recognize a stage-specific antigen on immature human marrow cells are provided.
