Human Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Flow Cytometry Kit

Flow Cytometry: Human Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Flow Cytometry Kit [FMC019-NOV] - Human umbilical cord blood cells were stained using reagents supplied in this kit. Cells were simultaneously analyzed for the expression of multipotency markers. Cells negative for CD11b and negative/low for CD38 (boxed area in A) were gated and assessed for positive expression of CD34 and SCF R/CD117 (upper right quadrant in B). Quadrants were set based on isotype controls.

Flow Cytometry: Human Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Flow Cytometry Kit [FMC019-NOV] - Human umbilical cord blood cells were stained with the indicated antibodies included in this kit. Representative expression of each analyte in the total umbilical cord blood cell population (filled histogram) over the isotype control (open histogram).

Background

The definitive hematopoietic system is made up of all adult blood cell types including megakaryocytes, erythrocytes, and cells of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages. All of these cells are derived from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through a succession of precursors with progressively limited potential. Hematopoietic stem cells are tissue-specific stem cells that exhibit remarkable self-renewal capacity and are responsible for the life-long maintenance of the hematopoietic system. HSCs are rare cells that reside in adult bone marrow where hematopoiesis is continuously taking place. They can also be found in cord blood, fetal liver, adult spleen, and peripheral blood.
