| Scientific background: | PROM1 (Prominin 1), also called CD133, is a glycoprotein. Maw et al. (2000) noted that D4S1601 and D4S3048, which are located on human chromosome 4p15.3-p15.2, map within intronic sequences of the PROML1 gene. Torrente et al. (2004) reported that a subpopulation of circulating cells expressing AC133, a well-characterized marker of hematopoietic stem cells, also expresses early myogenic markers. Singh et al. (2003) prospectively isolated a CD133-positive cell subpopulation from human brain tumors that exhibited stem cell properties in vitro. However, the true measures of cancer stem cells are their capacity for self renewal and exact recapitulation of the original tumor. |
