Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090148839 | METHOD FOR EVALUATING CELL POPULATIONS - The invention describes specific sialylated structures present on human stem cells and cell populations derived thereof. The invention is especially directed to methods to control the status of stem cells by observing changes in sialylation of the cells; and control of potential contaminations of biological materials; and reagents and methods used in connection with the cells in order to avoid alterations of the cell glycosylation by contaminating materials. The invention is further directed to novel stem cells, the glycosylation of which has been specifically altered. | 06-11-2009 |
20100047892 | METHOD FOR MODIFYING CELLS - The invention describes specific sialylated structures present on human stem cells and cell populations derived thereof. The invention is especially directed to methods to control the status of stem cells by changing sialylation and/or fucosylation levels of the cells. The invention is further directed to novel stem cells, the glycosylation of which has been specifically altered. The control methods are preferably mass spectrometric methods. | 02-25-2010 |
20110136203 | ENZYMATICAL MODIF ICATION OF CELL GLYCOSYLATION USING SERUM ALBUMIN AND DIVALENT CATIONS - The invention is directed to a method and kit to control and modify the status of cells, such as human stem cells, by changing their glycosylation, in particular sialylation and fucosylation, levels in a reaction condition where culture medium reagents, such as divalent cations, are present and cells are kept non-adherent. The invention is further directed to novel stem cells, the glycosylation of which has been specifically altered. | 06-09-2011 |
20110143373 | METHOD OF EVALUATING THE INTEGRITY OF THE PLASMA MEMBRANE OF CELLS BY DETECTING GLYCANS FOUND ONLY INTRACELLULARLY - The invention describes novel reagents that can be applied for analysis of the quality of human cells. The method evaluates the integrity of the plasma membrane of the cells by detecting novel glyco structures found only intracellularly. The method can be applied, for example, to demonstrate exposure of therapeutic cell preparation to potentially harmful conditions. It can also be used as a quality control tool in methods in which intact cell membrane is essential and it can be applied in separation of damaged cells from non- damaged. | 06-16-2011 |
