Surface antigens of human embryonic stem cells: changes upon differentiation in culture*

Draper, Jonathan S., Pigott, Christine, Thomson, James A., Andrews, Peter W.·2002·Journal of Anatomy

Abstract

We have analysed the surface antigen phenotype of a human embryonic stem (hES) cell line (H7) and the changes that occur upon differentiation induced by retinoic acid, hexamethylene bisacetamide and dimethylsulphoxide. The undifferentiated stem cells expressed Stage Specific Embryonic Antigen‐3 (SSEA3), SSEA4, TRA‐1‐60, and TRA‐1‐8 but not SSEA1. In these characteristics they closely resemble human embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells derived from testicular teratocarcinomas, and are distinct from murine EC and ES cells. The undifferentiated cells also expressed the liver/bone/kidney isozyme of alkaline phosphatase detected by antibody TRA‐2‐54, the class 1 major histocompatability antigens, HLA‐ABC, and the human Thy1 antigen. Differentiation of hES cells was induced by retinoic acid, HMBA and DMSO with the appearance of various cell types including neurons and muscle cells. The surface antigens characteristically expressed by hES cells were down‐regulated following induction of differentiation and other antigens appeared, notably several ganglioside glycolipids detected by antibodies VIN‐IS‐56 (GD3 and GD2), VIN‐2PB‐22 (GD2), A2B5 (GT3) and ME311 (9‐O‐acetyl‐GD3). Whereas the expression of HLA was slightly down‐regulated upon differentiation, its expression was strongly induced by interferon‐γ in both the undifferentiated and the differentiated cells, although the induction in the differentiated cultures was considerably stronger than in the stem cells. In all of these features the human ES cells, and their pattern of differentiation, resembled the pluripotent human EC cell line NTERA‐2 although clearly the range of cells generated by the hES cells was considerably greater.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
