  • an antigen expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells and on some epithelial cells. PMID: 12133915

CDCP1 (CUB-domain-containing protein 1)

  • a novel transmembrane molecule that is expressed in metastatic colon and breast tumors as well as on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells. CDCP1 is not only a novel marker for immature hematopoietic progenitor cell subsets but also unique in its property to recognize cells with phenotypes reminiscent of MSC and NPC. PMID: 15153610

  • a novel marker for hematopoietic stem cells. PMID: 12799299

c-Kit/CD117

Endomucin

  • a CD34-like sialomucin, marks hematopoietic stem cells throughout development. PMID: 16314436

  • an early endothelial-specific antigen that is also expressed on putative hematopoietic progenitor cells. PMID: 11747076

Flk-2 (fetal liver kinase-2)

  • a marker in hematopoietic stem cell differentiation: a simple method to isolate long-term stem cells. PMID: 11724967

Flk-2/Flt3

  • originally cloned from hematopoietic stem cell-enriched fetal liver and placenta and is believed by some investigators to play a role in the regulation of the hematopoietic stem cell. PMID: 9620281

Flt-3L

  • has an important role in the expansion of early hematopoietic progenitors and in the generation of mature peripheral leukocytes. PMID: 10828034

Hemangiopoietin (HAPO)

  • a novel growth factor acting on both hematopoietic and endothelial cell lineages. PMID: 14976050

LR-1

  • recognizes murine heat-stable antigen, a marker of antigen-presenting cells and developing hematopoietic cells. PMID: 8917116

Ly-5

  • expressed by cells of the hematopoietic branch of development. PMID: 3489673

Merocyanine 540 (MC540)

  • an impermeant fluorescent dye that binds preferentially to fluidlike domains of the cell membrane, is a differentiation marker on murine hematopoietic progenitor cells. PMID: 6602137

  • can be a useful probe for the isolation of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) from some hematopoietic tissues and may assist in monitoring structural changes in the phospholipid bilayer during proliferation and differentiation of HPC. PMID: 10349913

  • a useful molecular marker for blood cell differentiation and a basis for an effective purification of hematopoietic progenitor cells. PMID: 7327314

MYADM

  • a novel hematopoietic-associated marker gene expressed in multipotent progenitor cells and up-regulated during myeloid differentiation. PMID: 10733104

  • localized to the nuclear envelope and to intracytoplasmic membranes, indicating that MYADM constitutes an integral membrane protein. PMID: 16172915

Prominin-1/CD133

  • a neural and hematopoietic stem cell marker, is expressed in adult human differentiated cells and certain types of kidney cancer. PMID: 15558321

Thy-1

  • expressed on CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells: a five dimensional flow cytometric study. PMID: 9718862

  • expressed on primitive cord blood progenitors with the highest in vitro proliferative potential, and further suggest that Thy-1 is involved in hematopoietic cell development, possibly by mediating a negative signal that results in inhibition of primitive cell proliferation. PMID: 7513197

  • Thy-1 antigen expression by murine high-proliferative capacity hematopoietic progenitor cells. I. Relation between sensitivity to depletion by Thy-1 antibody and stem cell generation potential. PMID: 6149245
