Abstract

We propose to develop a functional screen to test novel cDNA sequences for effect on haematopoietic commitment and differentiation of embryonic stem cells. We have access to a rich source of novel cDNA sequences that are likely to be expressed and functional in haematopoietic lineages. Stable expression of those cDNAs in ES cells will be achieved using a new episomal vector system. It should be possible to assay for molecules that have either a positive or negative effect haematopoietic development.
