Abstract

See full text

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.
