GENE MARKER FOR DETECTING CELL SUCH AS MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL AND THE LIKE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gene marker useful for detecting and/or discriminating cells in each step of a process for differentiating bone marrow cells into osteoblasts through mesenchymal stem cells, especially the mesenchymal stem cells.

SOLUTION: The bone marrow cells, cells after culturing the bone marrow cells and before selective culture solely of the mesenchymal stem cells, the mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblast precursor cells or the osteoblasts are detected and/or separated by detecting the expression amount or difference in the expression amount of at least one or more genes out of genes having a specific base sequence.
