Stem Cell Marker Prominin-1/AC133 Is Expressed in Duct Cells of the Adult Human Pancreas
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Many efforts are spent in identifying stem cells in adult pancreas because these could provide a source of beta cells for cell-based therapy of type 1 diabetes. Prominin-1, particularly its specific glycosylation-dependent AC133 epitope, is expressed on stem/progenitor cells of various human tissues and can be used to isolate them. We, therefore, examined its expression in adult human pancreas....
