Abstract:
A human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line that enabled globin-expressing cells to be easily recognized would facilitate optimization of erythroid differentiation in vitro and aid in the identification of hESC-derived erythroid cells in transplanted animals. We describe a genetically modified hESC line, ErythRED, in which expression of RFP, controlled by regulatory sequences from the human beta-globin locus control region, is restricted to maturing erythroid cells.
