<p>The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding KIAA0918, and an isolated nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes under high stringency conditions to a second nucleic acid that is complementary to a nucleic acid sequence encoding KIAA0918. The present invention also discloses a purified KIAA0918 protein, and a purified protein encoded by a nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes under high stringency conditions to a second nucleic acid sequence that is complementary to a nucleic acid sequence encoding KIIAA0918. Also provided is a method of making KIAA0918 protein. The present invention further discloses an antibody specific for KIAA0918, and a method for producing an antibody specific for KIAA0918 protein. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding KIAA0918, and a host cell transformed with a vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding KIAA0918. Also provided is a method for detecting the presence of hematopoietic stem cells in a heterogeneous cell suspension that may contain hematopoietic stem cells, as well as a method for isolating hematopoietic stem cells from a heterogeneous cell suspension that may contain hematopoietic stem cells. Finally, the present invention discloses a method for assessing gene expression in a tissue sample.</p> |
