Claims13
1-14. (canceled)
An in vitro method for assessing, evaluating and/or monitoring the purity of a cell preparation comprising mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), wherein said method comprises measuring the expression level of at least one growth factor expressed by said cell preparation, wherein said at least one growth factor is SDF-1α and/or VEGF.
A cell population identified by an in vitro method for assessing, evaluating and/or monitoring the purity of a cell preparation comprising mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), wherein said method comprises measuring the expression level of at least one growth factor expressed by said cell preparation, wherein said at least one growth factor is SDF-1α and/or VEGF.
A kit for implementing an in vitro method for assessing, evaluating and/or monitoring the purity of a cell preparation comprising mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), wherein said method comprises measuring the expression level of at least one growth factor expressed by said cell preparation, wherein said at least one growth factor is SDF-1α and/or VEGF, wherein said kit comprises means for determining or measuring the expression level of at least one growth factor, optionally further comprising the reference for comparing the expression level of said at least one growth factor.
