Oct - 4 is most consistently expressed of the pluripotency genes that we have studied, and it is switched off only in populations that have lost other measurable features of pluripotency, such as stem
cell surface marker expression and the capacity for self - renewal.
Single cell Q - RTPCR for the genes indicated was carried out on cells separated by flow cytometry on the basis of
cell surface marker expression.
In the present study, we again observed a continuous gradient in the expression of pluripotency genes across the cell populations that paralleled the gradient in
cell surface marker expression.

Researchers from BUSM and the University of Cyprus compared the
markers on the
surface of the cancer
cells to gene
expression profile of breast tumors deposited by researchers in international public databases and found that a molecule named IL13RA2 (IL13R alpha2) was abundant in metastatic or late - stage BLBC.
The use of
cell surface markers to isolate specific
cell populations is one common method for separating
cells; however, isolating live
cells based on their RNA
expression is a powerful new way enabling the study of small
cell niches in nongenetically modified animal models and human tissue.

expression of a protein called nucleolin, which is a
marker on the
surface of tumor
cells.
We will develop mathematical models to predict the pathways of differentiation from naive to memory and effector T -
cell subsets based on the characterisation of
surface marker expression, transcription factors and cytokines production at early and late time points after immunisation.

cell -
surface marker for precursor fat
cells that can generate mature
cells with high energy potential, as shown by their UCP1
expression.
To compare T
cell phenotypes between DGKζ − / − and Cbl - b − / − mice, and to evaluate DKO mice, we isolated thymi, lymph nodes, and spleens from mice of each genotype and determined
expression of T
cell surface markers.

expression of
cell surface markers commonly expressed on pluripotent stem
cells (Figure 1B, C and D).
Our laboratory used two monoclonal antibodies, GCTM - 2 and TG30, recognizing the
cell surface proteoglycan characteristic of primate ES
cells and CD9 respectively, to fractionate human ES
cell populations into four compartments according to their relative levels of
expression of both
markers [14].
A. Fractionation of HES 3 or H9
cells by flow cytometry according to the levels of
expression of
cell surface markers (GCTM - 2, pericellular matrix proteoglycan, and CD9).
Cells along the continuum show a progressively decreasing likelihood of self renewal as their
expression of stem
cell surface markers and pluripotency genes wanes.
