Dynamic Changes in EPCAM Expression during Spermatogonial Stem Cell Differentiation in the Mouse Testis
15 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have the unique ability to undergo self-renewal division. However, these cells are morphologically indistinguishable from committed spermatogonia, which have limited mitotic activity. To establish a system for SSC purification, we analyzed the expression of SSC markers CD9 and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM), both of which are also expressed on embryonic stem...
