Fibroblast activation protein α identifies mesenchymal stromal cells from human bone marrow
28 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have gained widespread popularity in cell therapy, but their development into clinical products has been impeded by the scarcity of cell-specific markers. We previously explored transcriptome and membrane proteome of MSCs, from which fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP) was recognized as a prime surface marker candidate. The present study showed that FAP was constitutively...
