Methods are provided for distinguishing a cardiomyocyte subset in a heterogeneous cellular sample. Aspects of the methods include contacting the heterogeneous cellular sample with a cell surface marker specific binding member, and then distinguishing a cardiomyocyte subset of the cellular sample based on binding to the cell surface marker specific binding member. Also provided are devices, compositions and kits that find use in performing the subject methods.

Cell surface signature for processing cardiomyocyte subsets from heterogeneous cell samples

The inventors disclose methods and systems that provide for the isolation and purification of neurons directly from heterogeneous cell cultures. The expression of various cell adhesion molecules was examined in pluripotent stem cells. Changes in the expression of one or more of these molecules correlates with the progression of cells from non-lineage committed to neural cells. Using one or more antibodies for these molecules in combination with antibodies specific for CD200 will enable one to identify and isolate neurons from a population cells.
