  • Keratinocyte stem cells
    Patent number: 6485971
    Abstract: Enrichment for human Keratinocyte Stem Cells KSCs to a high degree of purity can be successfully achieved on the basis of a cell surface component whose expression is proliferation-related in conjunction with an integrin such as the &agr;6&bgr;4 integrin. Transferrin receptor may be used as the cell surface component that is proliferation related. Enrichment of Transit amplifying cells can also be achieved by use of a variation of this method. The enrichment follows on from harvesting of cells from an epithelium, preferably rich in stem cells.
