Methodological considerations on how to identify human hematopoietic stem cells.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Recently, human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been purified to a frequency of approximately 1 in 3 cells, a population denoted as CD34+CD38-CD45RA-CD90±EPCR+ HSCs. This work aimed to evaluate the methodology for CD34+ HSC isolation, exploring differences in antibody clones, conjugates, source of cells and additional cell surface antigens (integrin-α6, CLEC9A and GPRC5C) to enhance the purity of these EPCR+ HSCs. We are emphasizing here the importance of experimental planning and antibody panel selection concerning the isolation of these human HSCs from multiple sources and providing important notes on the pitfalls of the reagents used for such purposes. Our results should enable a better reproducibility of results between labs, as well as further pursue work towards improving the enrichment of human HSCs.
