Abstract: The present invention provides a therapeutic agent, for diseases in which neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells occurs, which is characterized by containing an anti-human CD48 monoclonal antibody and having cellular cytotoxicity to cells expressing human CD48; and the monoclonal antibody. In addition, the present invention provides a method for screening an active ingredient of a therapeutic agent for diseases in which neoplastic proliferation of plasma cells occurs, the method including the following processes: (1) a process of sorting a substance that binds specifically to human CD48; and (2) a process of sorting a substance having cellular cytotoxicity.

Abstract: Acute myeloid leukemia stem cells (AMLSC) are identified. The cells can be prospectively isolated or identified from patient samples, and are shown to possess the unique properties of cancer stem cells in functional assays for cancer stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, and in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract: The present inventors succeeded in FACS-sorting viable WT1-expressing cells, and also discovered that WT1 expression in mouse fetal liver cells serves as a common molecular marker of hepatic, endothelial, and hematopoietic progenitor cells. Based on the present invention, hepatic, endothelial, and hematopoietic progenitor cells can be separated or detected using the WT1 gene expression level as an indicator.
