Stem Cell Related Patent Number US5914108
| Title: | Human hematopoietic stem cell | | Inventors: | Tsukamoto, Ann; Palo Alto, CA, USA | | Summary: | Described herein are human hematopoietic stem cells, methods and uses thereof. The invention relates to a method of treating a human with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, such that the hematopoietic stem cells are capable of regeneration in a coculture and differentiation to members of all hematopoietic lineages. Methods of separation and maintenance of the cells in an appropriate culture medium are provided, as are the means for assaying the stem cells for their differentiation capacity. Therapeutic applications to a variety of diseases are included. | | 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. A method for treating a human by implanting a cellular composition comprising greater than 90% human hematopoietic stem cells is also disclosed. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US5914108 | | Application Number: | US1995000466062 | | Date Filed: | 06/05/1995 | | Date Published: | 22/06/1999 | | Assignee: | SyStemix, Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA |
