Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of stromal cell precursors in human bone marrow by a novel monoclonal antibody, STRO-1
TL;DR: It is concluded that antibody STRO-1 binds to BM stromal elements with the capacity to transfer the hematopoietic microenvironment in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
HK-2: an immortalized proximal tubule epithelial cell line from normal adult human kidney.
Michael J. Ryan,Gretchen Johnson,J Kirk,Sally M. Fuerstenberg,Richard A. Zager,Beverly Torok-Storb +5 more
TL;DR: An immortalized adult human PTC line has been established by transduction with HPV 16 E6/E7 genes and it appears to be well-differentiated on the basis of its histochemical, immune cytochemical, and functional characteristics, and it can reproduce experimental results obtained with freshly isolated PTCs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ABCG2 transporter is an efficient Hoechst 33342 efflux pump and is preferentially expressed by immature human hematopoietic progenitors
TL;DR: Comparison of messenger RNA levels for the 3 major multidrug-resistant efflux pumps, MDR1, MRP1, and ABCG2, in bone marrow SP cells reveals that ABCG 2 is the predominant form in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 expressed by bone marrow stromal cells mediates the binding of hematopoietic progenitor cells
Paul J. Simmons,Boris Masinovsky,Brian M. Longenecker,Berenson Rj,Beverly Torok-Storb,William Michael Gallatin +5 more
TL;DR: Human bone marrow-derived CD34+ cells were analyzed for the expression of the beta 1-family of integrin adhesion molecules to identify an adhesion mechanism of potential importance in the localization of primitive progenitors within the hematopoietic microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionally Distinct Human Marrow Stromal Cell Lines Immortalized by Transduction With the Human Papilloma Virus E6/E7 Genes
TL;DR: A replication-defective recombinant retrovirus containing the human papilloma virus E6/E7 genes was used to immortalize stromal cells from human marrow, and it is hypothesized that HS-5, HS-21,HS-23, and HS-27 represent functionally distinct components of the marrow microenvironment.
