R&D Systems™ Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Verification Flow Kit

Mesenchymal stromal cells are a heterogeneous population of cultured cells that are adherent to plastic, have a distinct morphology, and express a specific set of marker proteins. Within this heterogeneous population are mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent, self-renewing cells that have the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts when cultured in vitro.

Antibodies for MSC verification according to the markers proposed by the International Society for Cellular Therapy
