CD34+ or CD34−: which is the more primitive?

A Novel mAb against a Human CD34 Peptide Reacts with the Native Protein on CD34+ Cells

Background: Human CD34 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the small- vessel endothelial cells of a variety of tissues. CD34 plays a critical role as a marker for diagnosis and classification of leukemia. Anti CD34 antibodies are used for isolation and purification of HSCs from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Objective: ...

Which Is More Prominent in Recurrent Hydatidiform Mole, Ovum or Sperm?

Recurrent hydatidiform mole is defined as episodes of two molar pregnancies in a female. Often, complete moles onlyderive androgenic nuclear genome. We described two cases with repeated molar pregnancies attempted to preventfuture episodes by performing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)to assess genetic disorders. The first pat...

Mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells express more amphotropic retrovirus receptor than bone marrow CD34+ cells.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The increased susceptibility to gene transfer by amphotropic retroviral vectors of mobilized peripheral blood (PB) CD34+ cells compared to their bone marrow (BM) counterparts may depend, among other factors, on the level of expression of the amphotropic receptor on the progenitor cell. Using a previously described flow cytometry strategy, we have studied retrovirus bind...
