What is CD133?

CD133 (prominin-1) is a member of the transmembrane glycoprotein family and was initially described as a specific marker to select human hematopoietic progenitor cells. Later it was recognised as an important marker to identify and isolate the specific cell subpopulation termed “cancer stem cells” (CSCs). Many studies showed that CD133+ cells have stemness properties such as self-renewal, differentiation ability, high proliferation and they are also able to form tumors in xenografts.

How are CD133+ cells obtained?

CD133+ cells are isolated using positive immunomagnetic cell separation from the bone marrow.

What is the purity of Creative Bioarray's CD133+ cells?

Our CD133+ cells have been tested to have a purity of over 90% as measured by flow cytometry with a monoclonal CD133 antibody.

At what passage are the CD133+ cells upon arrival?

Our CD133+ cells are cryopreserved directly after isolation. They haven’t been in culture before freezing.

Can I expand the CD133+ progenitors without differentiating them?

No, the cells will proliferate and differentiate simultaneously upon being placed in culture. Varying the cytokine cocktail can influence the differentiation and proliferation of the cells.

Is it normal that CD133+ progenitor cells attach to tissue culture plastic after a week-long culture?

The cells sink down to the bottom of the culture vessel but don’t really attach. They retain a roundish morphology and can be rinsed off with culture medium easily.

What happens if I grow CD133+ progenitors in hematopoietic progenitor cell expansion medium without cytokines?

The cells will die. Hematopoietic progenitor cell expansion medium always must be supplemented with an appropriate cocktail of cytokines.
