Stem Cell Related Patent Number US7045148
| Title: | Method of collecting placental stem cells | | Inventors: | Hariri, Robert J.; Florham Park, NJ, USA | | Summary: | Described herein is a method of collecting embryonic-like CD34+ stem cells from a drained placenta which has been treated to remove residual cord blood via a perfusion technique which utilizes an anticoagulant solution and either or both of an umbilical artery and umbilical vein. Methods describing the process of exsanguination are included, as well as the means by which exogenous cells can be propagated in the placental bioreactor and bioactive molecules collected therefrom. | | Abstract: | A method of collecting embryonic-like stem cells from a placenta which has been treated to remove residual cord blood by perfusing the drained placenta with an anticoagulant solution to flush out residual cells, collecting the residual cells and perfusion liquid from the drained placenta, and separating the embryonic-like cells from the residual cells and perfusion liquid. Exogenous cells can be propagated in the placental bioreactor and bioactive molecules collected therefrom. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US7045148 | | Application Number: | US2001000004942 | | Date Filed: | 05/12/2001 | | Date Published: | 16/05/2006 | | Assignee: | Anthrogenesis Corporation, Cedar Knolls, NJ, USA |
