- CD34
CD34 molecule is a
cluster of differentiation molecule present on certain cells within the human body. It is a cell surfaceglycoprotein and functions as a cell-celladhesion factor . It may also mediate the attachment ofstem cells tobone marrow extracellular matrix or directly to stromal cells. CD34 is also the name for the humangene that encodes the protein.

The CD34 protein is a member of a family of single-pass transmembrane sialomucin proteins that show expression on early
hematopoietic and vascular-associated tissue. However little is known about its exact function.cite journal | author = Furness SG, McNagny K | title = Beyond mere markers: functions for CD34 family of sialomucins in hematopoiesis | journal = Immunol.

Cells expressing CD34 (CD34+ cell) are normally found in the
umbilical cord andbone marrow as hematopoeitic cells, endothelial progenitor cells,endothelial cell s of blood vessels but notlymphatics (except pleural lymphatics),mast cells , a sub-populationdendritic cell s (which arefactor XIII a negative) in the interstitium and around theadnexa ofdermis of skin, as well as cells in soft tissue tumors like DFSP, GIST, PNSTs etc.Clinical applications
CD34+ cells may be isolated from
blood samples using immunomagnetic or immunofluorescent methods.Antibodies are used to quantify and purify
hematopoietic progenitor stem cells for research and for clinical bone marrow transplantation. However, counting CD34+ mononuclear cells may overestimatemyeloid blasts in bone marrow smears due tohematogones (B lymphocyte precursors) and CD34+megakaryocytes .Cells observed as CD34+ and CD38- are of an undifferentiated, primitive form; i.e. they are
pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell s. Thus, because of their CD34+ expression, such undifferentiated cells can be sorted out.In tumors, CD34 is found in
alveolar soft part sarcoma ,preB-ALL (positive in 75%), AML (40%),AML-M7 (most),dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans , gastrointestinalstromal tumor s,giant cell fibroblastoma ,granulocytic sarcoma ,Kaposi’s sarcoma ,liposarcoma ,malignant fibrous histiocytoma , malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, mengingealhemangiopericytoma s,meningioma s,neurofibroma s,schwannoma s, andpapillary thyroid carcinoma .A negative CD34 may exclude
Ewing's sarcoma /PNET,myofibrosarcoma of the breast, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the stomach.References
