Class: Extraction/Preservation (156)
Antibody recognizing a small subset of human hematopoietic cells
Patent Number: 6043348This patent covers a new marker of hematopoietic stem cells. This marker can be used for extraction of these stem cells, as well as for quantification. The protein marker is called "MG-1" in the specification.
In vivo selection of primitive hematopoietic cells
Patent Number: 6500421This patent teaches ways of using tranfection of hematopoietic stem cells in order to select for primitive cells in vivo. This patent is useful for treatment of a variety of hematological disorders in which stem cell transplants are indicated.
Methods and compositions for neural progenitor cells
Patent Number: 6890724This patent teaches how to extract neural precursor cells by expression of a protein called RET. RET is orphan receptor tyrosine kinase essential for enteric neurogenesis The patent has two independent claims. That are: A method for the enrichment of neural progenitor cells comprising RET protein, said method comprising: a) combining...

Patent Number: 5916202This patent covers a medical device that contains a special pouch for the collection of cord blood from umbilical cords after delivery.
Apparatus and method for collecting blood from an umbilical cord
Patent Number: 6190368This patent covers a medical device that is useful for extraction of cord blood so as to avoid the need for letting the cord blood drop by gravity into the collection receptacle.
Apparatus and method for collecting blood from an umbilical cord
Patent Number: 5993429This patent anticipated the cord blood revolution and therefore claimed various devices and methods of collection of cord blood. Stem cells purified from cord blood are currently used for a variety of hematological and non-hematological disorders.
Apparatus and method for collecting blood from an umbilical cord
Patent Number: 5919176This patent covers a medical device for extraction of cord blood from an umbilical cord after delivery.
Characterization of a human hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen
Patent Number: 5843633This patent covers the antigen known as AC133 or CD133. This antigen is useful for purification of hematopoietic stem cells, as well as stem cells with angiogenic activity.
Medium for preserving biological materials
Patent Number: 6248588This patent teaches how to store various biological tissues and cells, including stem cells, through the injection of various cryopreservants into said tissues or cells.
