Abstract

See full text

Provided herein are methods for selecting/identifying and/or isolating cancer stem cells from a biological sample or a cell culture sample using a fluorescent glucose analog. Also provided herein are methods for selecting/identifying and/or isolating leukemia stem cells and subpopulations thereof. The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that cancer stem cells can be selected/identified based upon a lower level of fluorescence of the fluorescent glucose analog compared to non-cancer stem cells and that specific genes are differentially expressed in leukemia stem cells compared to non-leukemia stem cells.
