Patent EP-1394263-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TANIMIZU NAOKI
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 2002-05-16
Abstract: It was discovered that a membrane protein dlk (delta-like) is specifically
expressed on the surfaces of fetal hepatic cells. We succeeded in purifying
undifferentiated hepatic cells including hepatic stem cells to high purify from mouse
fetal liver using an antibody to dlk protein. The obtained fetal hepatic cells included
hepatic stem cells having bipotency. The present invention provides a marker
molecule of hepatic cells, and a method for detecting undifferentiated hepatic cells
utilizing this molecule. The present invention also provides a method for separating
undifferentiated hepatic cells utilizing this marker molecule, and the undifferentiated
hepatic cells separated by this method. By using the method of the present
invention, hepatic stem cells may be purified simply to high concentration. The
undifferentiated hepatic cells obtained by the present invention may be used for
regenerative medicine and artificial liver. They may also be used for analyses of
intercellular interactions, and for assay systems and screening systems for
investigating drug metabolism as well as for searching drugs and anti-viral agents
which control the drug metabolism or differentiation of hepatic cells.
