Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a method of identifying and obtaining a culture cells comprising cells selected from the group consisting of endocrine pre-progenitor cells, endocrine progenitor cells, early endocrine cells, and/or fully differentiated endocrine cells. Also contemplated is a method of expanding the number of such cells as well as sorting such cells. In some aspects the invention further relates to a selective cell surface marker, DNER, that permits the selection of a unique subset of cells with endocrine pre-progenitor, endocrine progenitor, early endocrine, and/or fully differentiated endocrine phenotype. In some aspects the selective cell surface marker is selected from the group consisting of DNER, DISP2, SEZ6L2, LRP1 1 and SLC30A8. Furthermore, the invention relates to isolated cells selected from such cells and compositions thereof. |
