CD34<sup>−</sup>Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Current Concepts and Controversies
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recent data have suggested that human CD34(-) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) exist, challenging the concept that HSCs necessarily and exclusively express the CD34 antigen. In mice, quiescent HSCs have been shown to be mostly CD34(-), but as a consequence of 5-fluorouracil treatment or cytokine stimulation, differentiate into CD34(+) cells.
