Description
Product Description
CD34, a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of hematopoietic progenitor cells and small blood vessel endothelial cells, is regarded as a marker of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and hematopoietic progenitor cells [1]. CD34+ cells have been shown to possess colony-forming potential in short-term assays, maintain long-term colony-forming potential in in vitro cultures and allow the expression and differentiation of blood cells from different hematopoietic lineages in in vivo models [2]. The CD34+ Progenitor Cells contain two main cellular subpopulations, hematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells. Therefore, CD34+ Progenitor Cells are suitable for a series of studies, e.g. directed differentiation into more committed types of blood cells and endothelial lineages.
iXCells Biotechnologies offers CD34+ Progenitor Cells from the peripheral blood of healthy donors. These cells are positively isolated using a direct immunomagnetic CD34 MicroBead labeling system. > 90% of the cells are CD34+ as showed by flow cytometric analysis of iXCells CD34+ Progenitor Cells.
