Aihara, Yukoh; Yokohama, Japan
Weissman, Irving; Palo Alto, CA, USA | | Summary: | This invention describes an assay for identifying growth factors according to a process by which a sample of Thy-1+ human hematopoietic stem cells is evaluated for its self-regeneration capacity. Described herein are human hematopoietic stem cells and methods by which they are separated from dedicated cells and maintained by regeneration in an appropriate growth medium, after which they are assayed for their capacity to produce members of each of the hematopoietic lineages. Therapeutic and experimental applications to the treatment of hematopoietic diseases are included. This invention represents a continuation of other applications filed by the same assignee and inventors. | | Abstract: | Human hematopoietic stem cells are provided by separation of the stem cells from dedicated cells. The stem cells may than be maintained by regeneration in an appropriate growth medium. Means are provided for assaying for the stem cells as to their capability for producing members of each of the hematopoietic lineages. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US5763197 | | Application Number: | US1991000720883 | | Date Filed: | 25/06/1991 | | Date Published: | 09/06/1998 | | Assignee: | SyStemix, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA |
