MSCA-1 Antibody, anti-human, APC

01MT15176

Clone W8B2 recognizes the mesenchymal stromal cell antigen-1 (MSCA-1). MSCA-1 was shown to be restricted to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in the CD271bright population in bone marrow. These CD271brightCD45dim MSCs have a much higher clonogenic capacity compared to the CD271+CD45+ fraction in bone marrow. Therefore, MSCA-1 is a suitable marker to identify MSCs with a high proliferative potential. MSCA-1 expression was not found on placenta-derived MSCs after culture.
