Identification of marker genes distinguishing human periodontal ligament cells from human mesenchymal stem cells and human gingival fibroblasts
27 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Molecular gene markers, which can distinguish human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from human fibroblasts, have recently been reported. Messenger RNA levels of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2, major histocompatibility complex-DR-alpha, major histocompatibility complex-DR-beta, and neuroserpin are higher in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells than in human fibroblasts. However,...
