## Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are selfโrenewing cells with the ability to differentiate into various mesodermalโderived tissues. Recently, we have identified in adult human periodontal ligament (PDL) a population of stem cells (PDLโMSCs) with the ability to differentiate into osteoblast

โฆ Synopsis
Stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1) was localized on paraffin embedded, formalin fixed specimens of human renal tumors by immunoperoxidase staining using a monoclonal antibody. Of 19 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) samples tested, 12 were positive for SSEA-1; SSEA-1 was also found on distinct elements in two samples of Wilms' tumor. No correlation was found between expression of SSEA-1, and RCC morphology or pattern of growth. Because SSEA-1 is found on proximal tubules in the normal kidney, these results support the hypothesis that RCC arises from the cells of the proximal tubule. Furthermore, since >60% of the RCCs examined expressed SSEA-1, this antigen may prove to be a useful target for immunolocation or therapy of metastatic RCC.
