METHOD FOR ISOLATING CELLS AND A CELL POPULATION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method for the isolation of a cell population from a sample of human umbilical cord blood comprising steps of contacting said sample with an antibody binding to core-2 type O-glycan, with a sialyl Lewis x (s Lex) and Neu5Aca2- 3Galß1-3(Neu5Aca2-3Galß1-4Glc NAcß1-6)Gal NAca epitopes, such as CHO-131, and isolating the cells bound to said antibody. The invention also provides compositions comprising human cells isolated from umbilical cord blood.
