<p>The present invention provides methods and reagents for identification, separation and characterization of embryonic stem cells using markers previously recognized as germ cell specific. One currently preferred marker is the DAZL marker now shown to be expressed in multipotent and pluripotent stem cells. Antibodies and other agents, capable of binding the novel marker and useful for selecting these stem cells are also provided as well as diagnostic and therapeutic applications of pluripotent stem cells selected according to the present invention.</p> |
