Hello All, Maybe this is a question the flow community can tackle? We are looking for an antibody specific for hepatocytes. Specifically, we are trying to differentiate between cells of erythroid versus other origins in fetal liver and were wondering if a "hepatocyte specific marker" existed. TER119 is the logical option for the erythroid marker. Also, I know the question was posed to the group a short time ago, but does there exist an erythroid marker that can differentiate more primitive precursors such as BFU-E, CFU-E, or normoblasts? Presumably, TER119 stains these cells, but it also stains retics. and mature erythrocytes. Many thanks in advance, Dana Levasseur University of Alabama at Birmingham Bevill Biomedical Research Building, Rm. 870 845 19th Street South Birmingham, AL 35205 phone: (205)-934-1963 e-mail: dnl@uab.edu
