BIOMARKER FOR PURIFICATION OR IDENTIFICATION OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS AND METHODS OF PURIFICATION OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS BY USING IT

摘要

The present invention is related to biomarker for purification and idem i fi cat ion of mesenchymal stem cells and methods for purif ication of imseiichmai stem cells by using it. The present invention provides composition, apparatus and kit for separation or identification of MSCs comprising anti -fibroblast activation protein a (FAP a ). Also, the present invention provides the method for identification and purification of MSCs. In detail, the present invention provides the method for identification of MSCs comprising the steps of : contacting anti -FAP a antibody with test cell; detecting the forming of antigen-antibody complex of FAP a of the above test cell and the above anti -FAP a antibody. And the present invention provides the method for separation and purification MSCs comprising the steps of : forming antigen-antibody complex by contacting liquid biological media having MSC with anti-FAP a antibody; and collecting the above antigen-antibody complex.
