Test Catalog

CD34+/CD133+ Expression

Clinical information

Diagnostic Utility:

Test that quantifies

  • cells positive for the CD34 membrane receptor (surface antigen of hematopoietic stem cells)
  • cells positive for the CD133 membrane receptor (found in hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial cells)

and determines cellular viability.

It is a determination used as a quality control of products from positive selections of CD133 cells for the treatment of diseases such as Asherman's Syndrome or by IPS cells.

Method

Flow cytometry

Reference Values

The results are quantitative. CD34 and CD133 concentrations can vary greatly depending on the type of sample/product.

Diagnostic Algorithm:

Not applicable.

Response Time:

1 day.
