Markers for Human Embryonic Stem Cells or Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Does anyone know the set of markers to categorize Human Embryonic Stem Cells and Human Pluripotent Stem Cells. Thanks in advance.

Hi Argerine

Core markers that define Stem cells are the Transcription Factors **OCT4 (POU5F1), SOX2 and ** NANOG. In addition to these, several cell surface markers are also used to confirm Stem Cells SSEA-3 (Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-3), SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, TRA-1-81, CD9, CD24 – Additional supportive markers.
