In December 2009, researchers at the University of Southern California cited using Novus’ mouse monoclonal Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Antibody (cat# NB100-317) [PMID: 19923445]. Specifically, Novus’ hTERT antibody was used for immunofluorescent staining on human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSC). This hTERT specific antibody helped to demonstrate that the GMSC’s are in fact a new population of precursor cells “which exhibit several unique stem cell-like properties as MSCs derived from bone marrow and other postnatal tissues.”
