Abstract excerpt
Chicken embryonic stem (CES) cells are pluripotent cells derived from chicken early blastoderm. In order to identify new genes specifically expressed in these pluripotent cells, we have used a gene trap strategy and cloned a novel gene family called cENS for chicken Embryonic Normal Stem cell gene. The cENS genes expression decreases after induction of CES cells differentiation in culture and is restricted in...
