Identification Of Novel Cell Surface Markers For Pancreatic Progenitor Cells And Definite Endodermal Cells

摘要

Methods of identifying, isolating and qualifying pancreatic progenitor cells and definite endodermal cells. An isolated population of pancreatic progenitor cells, including at least 75% of cells having a TROP-2+ and/or TROP-2+/GPR50+ expression pattern and an isolated population of definite endodermal cells, including at least 50% of cells having a;SOX17+/SOX7+/GSC+/CER+/FOXA2+/CXCR4+/NANOG expression pattern. Nucleic acid constructs including a reporter protein under the transcriptional regulation of SOX17 regulatory sequence or of PDX1 regulatory sequence, and cells comprising same, and methods and kits using same.
