Abstract excerpt
Human embryonic stem (hES) cells can proliferate extensively in culture and can differentiate into representatives of all three embryonic germ layers in vitro and in vivo.

The hES cells express a series of specific surface antigens, as well as OCT-4 and human telomerase, proteins associated...
