METHOD FOR MODIFYING CELLS

Abstract

The invention describes specific sialylated structures present on human stem cells and cell populations derived thereof. The invention is especially directed to methods to control the status of stem cells by changing sialylation and/or fucosylation levels of the cells. The invention is further directed to novel stem cells, the glycosylation of which has been specifically altered. The control methods are preferably mass spectrometric methods.
