The present invention relates to the field of pancreatic progenitor cells. More specifically, the present invention provides methods for isolating self-renewing centroacinar and terminal ductal progenitors from adult human pancreas. In a specific embodiment, the method comprises the steps of (a) providing a population of pancreatic cells; and (b) selecting for high expression of CD133, EpCAM, and CD44 on the pancreatic cells to isolate self-renewing centroacinar and terminal ductal progenitors. |
