  • Patent number: 10983123
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, methods and uses that relate to or result from the identification of markers that can distinguish between cells at different stages of pluripotency. Certain embodiments provide markers that can distinguish between parental cells (i.e. differentiated cells), partially pluripotent (i.e. partially reprogrammed) and pluripotent (i.e. fully reprogrammed cells). Also provided here are uses of such differential markers, for example, in identification of cell potential, in diagnostics, in differential separation, and in creating efficient workflows that involve fewer steps and lesser time in identifying or separating a desired reprogrammed clone or cell line from a mixture of cells at various stages of pluripotency. In certain embodiments, the activity of these markers can be manipulated to influence cell potential for research or medical purposes.
