Hematopoietic Stem Cells

A Summary of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Molecules

The definitive hematopoietic system is made up of all adult blood cell types including megakaryocytes, erythrocytes, and cells of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages. All of these cells are derived from multipotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through a succession of precursors with progressively limited potential. Hematopoietic stem cells are tissue-specific stem cells that exhibit remarkable self-renewal capacity and are responsible for the life-long mainte­nance of the hematopoietic system. HSCs are rare cells that reside in adult bone marrow where hematopoiesis is continu­ously taking place. They can also be found in cord blood, fetal liver, adult spleen, and peripheral blood. R&D Systems offers several products for studying hematopoietic lineage cells including serum-free media, lineage deple­tion antibodies and kits, and reagents for performing colony forming cell (CFC) assays.

Serum-Free Media for Hematopoietic Stem Cells

Culture media specifically optimized for use with hematopoietic stem cells.

Supplements for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Expansion

A cytokine panel specifically designed for the support and expansion of hematopoietic stem cells.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Growth Factors

Growth factors to differentiate stem cells to erythroid, lymphoid, and myeloid lineages.

Methylcellulose-based Reagents for Colony Forming Cell Assays

An in vitro quantitative assay used in the study of mouse and human hematopoietic stem cells.
