Identification of Multipotent Cytotrophoblast Cells from Human First Trimester Chorionic Villi
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
In this article we used immunohistochemistry and FACS analyses to show that cells expressing markers typical of human stem cells such as SSEA4, OCT-4, ALP, and CD117 are present within the cytotrophoblastic tissue of human fetal chorionic villus samples (CVSs). After immunoselection of CV cells for SSEA4, FACS analyses showed an increased number of cells positive for OCT-4 and ALP and a small percentage (around...
