CD133+ Progenitor Cells
CD133 (AC133, Prominin-1) is a glycoprotein with sub-cellular localization in plasma membrane protrusions. In humans, this protein was originally identified as an antigenic marker expressed on hematopoietic stem cells. In addition, CD133 is also expressed by neural and muscle progenitor cells.
CD133+ cells are isolated from fresh cord blood. These cells are highly proliferative primitive hematopoietic progenitors. They can give rise to mature terminally differentiated hematopoietic cells by means of directed differentiation. PromoCell also provides suitable expansion and differentiation media.
