Definition of CD34+ cells in your portal

[Shon Green]

Hi,

Thank you for a useful tool! Tracking the expression of cathepsin G, I see that it is expressed in a category of tissue called "CD34+" (http://biogps.org/#goto=genereport&id=1511).

I am wondering if this means hematopoietic stem cells or all CD34+ stem cells? There are many reports on how CD34 does not mark a specific stem cell population, this is a diverse group...  Any help in understanding what you mean by CD34+ would be great!

Thanks!

Shon

Hi,

If you're talking about the CD34+ cells from the Human U133A/GNF1H Gene Atlas data set, you can find more detail on the cells here:
