Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a new readily accessible source of adult somatic stem cells from the gastrointestinal tract in general and oral mucosa in particular, methods for isolating pluripotent stem cells from oral mucosa, cells derived therefrom and uses thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A culture comprising pluripotent stem cells that originated in the lamina propria of the oral mucosa, in an in vitro culture medium that ensures growth in vitro without production of differentiated progeny cells at the expense of the pluripotent stem cells, wherein said stem cells each display all of the markers Nestin, p75, Sox2, Oct4 and Nanog. 2. The culture of claim 1 , wherein said culture medium is a low glucose medium. 3. The culture of claim 2 , wherein said low glucose medium is supplemented with 1-20% fetal calf serum and an antibiotic solution. 4. The culture of claim 1 , wherein said stem cells originated in the lamina propria of the gingival oral mucosa. 5. The culture of claim 1 , wherein said stem cells further express a plurality of the markers β-III tubulin, glial fibrillar acid protein (GFAP), 04, Tra-1-61, Tral-81, SSEA1-4, Rex1, ABCG2, hTert, Bmil, CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD106, CD117, CD146, CD166 and Strol+. 6. The culture of claim 1 , wherein said stem cells express the histocompatibility marker HLA-ABC. 7. The culture of claim 1 , wherein said stem cells constitutively express said markers when cultured in a low glucose medium supplemented with 10% serum and an antibiotic solution. 8. A pluripotent stem cell that originated in the lamina propria of the oral mucosa which displays all of the markers Nestin, p75, Sox2, Oct4 and Nanog, and which stem cell further includes a foreign gene that has been inserted into the stem cell by genetic manipulation.
