Embryonic or Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Markers
Click on one of the stem cell types shown in the buttons below to see the markers that are commonly used to identify each cell type.
Overview
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the exceptional ability to both self-renew and differentiate into nearly every cell of the human body. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are somatic cells that have been reprogrammed back into an ESC-like phenotype. Both ESCs and iPSCs have numerous roles to play in drug discovery studies, understanding mechanisms of disease, cell therapies, and developmental biology.

Data Examples
Expression of Pluripotency Markers in Human Embryonic Stem Cells. Pluripotency marker expression was detected in immersion-fixed BG01V human embryonic stem cells using antibodies supplied in the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Markers Antibody Panel (R&D Systems, Catalog # SC008). Pluripotency marker expression was analyzed by dual immunofluorescence with the indicated primary antibodies supplied in the panel. The cells were stained using NorthernLights™ (NL) 493- and NL557-conjugated Secondary Antibodies (green and red, respectively). Where indicated, the nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
