Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for detecting the differentiation status of stem cells comprising detecting the expression of 5T4 antigen in said stem cells. The present invention also relates to methods for separating populations of undifferentiated or differentiated mammalian stem cells from a mixture of differentiated and undifferentiated stem cells through detection of 5T4 expression.
