Functional Implications of CD34 Expression in Human Adipose–Derived Stem/Progenitor Cells
18 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
CD34 is frequently used as a marker of adipose-derived stem/stromal/progenitor cells (ASCs). However, CD34 expression in human ASCs (hASCs) decreases over time in culture, and the implications of this remain unclear. In this study, we sorted shortly-cultured hASCs into CD34+ and CD34- fractions and compared their biological functions. Results indicated that CD34+ hASCs were more proliferative and had a greater...
