MARKER FOR DETECTING MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL AND METHOD OF DISTINGUISHING MESENCHYMAL STEM CELL USING THE MARKER

摘要

It is intended to provide a marker for detecting, separating and distinguishing a mesenchymal stem cell and a method of detecting, separating and distinguishing a mesenchymal stem cell by using this marker. A gene shown in Sequence Listing is expressed specifically in a mesenchymal stem cell. This gene is employed as a marker for detecting a mesenchymal stem cell. It is further intended to provide a probe for detecting the mesenchymal stem cell marker gene and a PCR primer for amplifying the gene in a sample cell in detecting the mesenchymal stem cell gene marker. It is furthermore intended to provide a polypeptide marker for detecting a mesenchymal stem cell comprising a polypeptide in which the above-described mesenchymal stem cell marker gene is expressed, an antibody binding specifically to the polypeptide marker for detecting the polypeptide marker, a probe for detecting the mesenchymal stem cell marker gene, and a method of distinguishing and separating a mesenchymal stem cell by using the antibody binding specifically to the polypeptide marker.
