In lineage tree 1, the development of stem cells occurs after the the area that stem cells might develop similarly to PGCs, in that
formation of germ layers. These stem cells are thus restricted they avoid the lineage commitments during gastrulation and
by germ layer commitment to their respective lineage (e.g., subsequently migrate to specific tissue and organ niches.

Product List
In some instances scientific milestones appear as serendipitous, nearly accidental discoveries. But for most of us discovery is a process
and series of small steps that are the result of a long and wide pathway of techniques, methods, and in-depth analysis. In order to
serve you better we have listed our the relevant products in the following pages by ‘work flow’ which is essentially addressing all of

General Stem Cell Biology


the steps in your discovery process. For every area of study, including regenerative medicine, there is a step-wise and systematic ap-
proach in gathering data. The proceeding products have been listed to appear in order of process:
Isolation – products for enzymatic or gradient cell separation as well as storage/cryopreservation
Characterization – product for cell identification
Expansion – product to increase cell populations
Differentiation – products to move cells forward along a given lineage and confirm lineage markers
Functional profiling – products to assist in converting or diverting the intercellular processes, mechanisms, and pathways
In vitro/in vivo analysis – products for tagging/marking cells in vitro and in vivo

All of these glycosphingolipid antigens are synthesized by extension from a common precursor, lactosylceramide. The likely parts of
these structures comprising the epitopes recognized by the different antibodies are highlighted. The enzymes responsible for the addi-
tion of the third sugar residues (galactosyl-, glucosaminyl-, and sialyltransferase) appear to regulate the rate-limiting step that controls
which synthetic pathway predominates. Human EC and ES cells are characterized by expression of the glycolipid antigens SSEA3 and
SSEA4, and not the lactoseries antigen SSEAl (Lex). By contrast, mouse EC and ES cells are typically characterized by their expression
of SSEAl. Mouse cells also express the globoseries Forssman antigen, which is not synthesized by human cells. Thus, despite the ap-
parent distinction between mouse and human EC and ES cells in terms of their terminal sugars that comprise the different epitopes,
the undifferentiated cells of both species do seem to share in common the expression of globoseries core structures.
