The Biocompare Cells and Microorganisms search tool is a diverse catalog of primary cells, cell lines, and microbial strains from many suppliers. Cell lines include stable immortalized lines, cells overexpressing target genes, hybridomas, reporter cell lines, and knockout cells. It features cells from various lineages, including myeloid and lymphoid cells, neuronal cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, myocytes, and more. Users can also search for specific cells based on tissue type or host species, providing flexibility for a wide array of research applications. Important considerations when choosing cells for research include cell line authentication, culturing requirements, genetic or phenotypic modifications, and the intended downstream application. Inspect the product datasheets from the cell supplier pages for more detailed information.
CD34 is a 115-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of hematopoietic progenitor cells and small blood vessel endothelial cells. While the specific function of CD34 remains to be elucidated, it is regarded as a marker of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and hematopoietic progenitor cells. Cells positive in CD34, or CD34+, represents a mixed sample of mostly hematopoietic progenitors with some HSC. CD34+ cells are mainly found in the blood, umbilical cord and bone marrow, but are not limited to these tissues. CD34 is also expressed on nonhematopoietic cell types, including muscle satellite cells, keratocytes, interstitial cells, fibrocytes, epithelial progenitors, and endothelial cells.
