Human-derived alternatives to fetal bovine serum in cell culture.
OBJECTIVE The need for an alternative to fetal bovine serum (FBS) is known to scientists and users involved in cell therapy or advanced therapy medicinal products. Human serum (huS) and platelet lysate (hPL) can be used as alternatives resulting in similar or even superior results concerning cell expansion. METHODS We developed protocols for the production of huS and two types of hPL and test...
متن کاملhuman autologous serum as a substitute for fetal bovine serum in human schwann cell culture.
nowadays, cell -based and tissue engineered products have opened new horizons in treatment of incurable nervous system disorders. the number of studies on the role of schwann cells (sc) in treating nervous disorders is higher than other cell types. different protocols have been suggested for isolation and expansion of sc which most of them have used multiple growth factors, mitogens and fetal b...
متن کاملReplacement of fetal calf serum by human serum as supplementation for human fibroblast culture
Introduction: Fetal calf serum (FCS) is commonly used as a supplement in the culture medium for fibroblast cells. This supplementation is far from ideal as sample quality varies from batch to batch and the composition of FCS is not completely known. In addition, FCS may be contaminated with viruses and/or prions and may also cause adverse immunologic responses in humans. Due to these facts, a w...
متن کاملPlatelet Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF): A Suitable Replacement for Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Culture
Background: Due to high differentiation potential and self-renewality, Mesenchymal Stem Cells are now widely considered by researchers in several diseases. FBS is used as a supplement in culture media for proliferation, differentiation, and other culture processes of MSCs, which is associated with transmission risk of a variety of infections as well as immune responses. PRGF derived from platel...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stem Cell Purification from the Articular Cartilage Cell Culture
Objective Articular cartilage as an avascular skeletal tissue possesses limited capacity to heal. On the other hand, it is believed that the regeneration capacity of each tissue is largely related to its stem cell contents. Little is known about the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in articular cartilage tissue. This subject is investigated in the present study. Materials and Methods Artic...
