Globin switches in yolk sac–like primitive and fetal-like definitive red blood cells produced from human embryonic stem cells
17 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that coculture of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) for 14 days with immortalized fetal hepatocytes yields CD34(+) cells that can be expanded in serum-free liquid culture into large numbers of megaloblastic nucleated erythroblasts resembling yolk sac-derived cells. We show here that these primitive erythroblasts undergo a switch in hemoglobin (Hb) composition during late terminal...
