Abstract

Markers of acute myeloid leukemia stem cells (AMLSC) are identified. The markers are differentially expressed in comparison with normal counterpart cells, and are useful as diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Claims (2)

1. A method for reducing the growth of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cancer stem cells ex vivo, the method comprising: contacting the AML cancer stem cells ex vivo with an anti-CD47 antibody that blocks the interaction of CD47 with SIRPα; wherein the anti-CD47 antibody reduces the growth of the AML cancer stem cells ex vivo by enhancing phagocytosis of the AML cancer stem cells.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CD47 antibody is an intact antibody molecule.
