Biomarker (cell)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A biomarker can be understood as a molecule that is present (or absent) from a particular cellular type. This facilitates the characterization of a cell type, their identification, and eventually their isolation. Cell sorting techniques are based on cellular biomarkers (for example, Fluorescent-activated cell sorting).
One example of cellular biomarker is the protein Oct-4 that is found in embryonic stem cells.
