Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure relates to oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells and methods of making, isolating, and using such cells.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of isolating a population of human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a population of human neural cells or neural precursor cells and (b) recovering a population of A2B5+ and PSA-NCAM− human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells from the provided population of human neural cells or neural precursor cells using only an agent that selectively binds to the CD140a ectodomain epitope of human PDGFαR, wherein the recovered population of cells has a higher percentage of said human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells than when said recovering is carried out using antibodies directed against A2B5 and PSA-NCAM. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recovering step is performed by FACS or magnetic sorting. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the agent is an antibody. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the recovered human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells are immortalized. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the recovered human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells express an exogenous nucleic acid encoding a human telomeric extension reverse transcriptase. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the provided population is derived from human neural tissue. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the provided population is derived from human multipotent or pluripotent stem cells. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the human pluripotent stem cells are induced human pluripotent stem cells. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the provided population is derived from human fetal cells. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the provided population is derived from human non-fetal cells. 11. The method of claim 1 further comprising: culturing the recovered human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells under conditions effective to form human oligodendrocytes. 12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: culturing the recovered human oligodendrocyte-biased glial progenitor cells under conditions effective to form human astrocytes.
