  • Publication number: 20070178590
    Abstract: The present invention provides a non-mouse, including human, pluripotential embryonic stem cell which can: (a) be maintained on feeder layers for at least 20 passages; and (b) give rise to embryoid bodies and multiple differentiated cell phenotypes in monolayer culture. The invention further provides a method of making a pluripotential embryonic stem cell comprising culturing germs cells and germ cell progenitors in a composition comprising a growth enhancing amount of basic fibroblast growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor, membrane associated steel factor, and soluble steel factor to primordial germ cells under cell growth conditions, thereby making a pluripotential embryonic stem cell. Also provided are composition useful to produce the pluripotent embryonic stem cells and methods of screening associated with the method of making the embryonic stem cell.

    Inventors: Brigid Hogan, Guang-Quan Zhao
  • Patent number: 7041801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a member of a novel gene family referred to as developmentally-regulated endothelial cell locus-1 (del-1). In particularly, the invention related to del-1 nucleotide sequences, Del-1 amino acid sequences, methods of expressing a functional gene product, and methods of using the gene and gene product. Since del-1 is expressed in endothelial cells and certain cancer cells, it may be useful as an endothelial cell and tumor marker. In addition, anti-Del-1 antibodies for immunological assessment of Del-1 protein expression as well as for inhibiting or stimulating Del-1 function are provided.
