Abstract

Takayuki Asahara and the late Jeffrey Isner, then director of a laboratory at the Dana Farber Institute in Boston (he died of myocardial infarction in 2001), had isolated circulating endothelial precursor cells using immunoabsorption with an antibody Anti-AC113 [279]. The AC113 antigen is expressed on a number of stem cells. When cultured, these cells acquire endothelial cell characteristics. Thus, peripheral blood contains progenitor cells capable of differentiating into endothelial cells.
