Immortalization of Mouse Germ Line Stem Cells

A vector-based system for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells toward germ-line cells

Objective(s):To culture thein vitro mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) and to direct their  differentiation to germ-line cells; in present study we used a vector backbone containing the fusion construct Stra8-EGFP to select differentiated ES cells that entered meiosis.  Retinoic acid was used to differentiate embryonic stem cells to germ cells. Materials and Methods: A fragment of Stra8 gene pr...

isolation and enrichment of mouse female germ line stem cells

objective: the existence of female germ-line stem cells (fgscs) has been the subject of a wide range of recent studies. successful isolation and culture of fgscs could facilitate studies on regenerative medicine and infertility treatments in the near future. our aim in the present study was evaluation of the most commonly used techniques in enrichment of fgscs and in establishment of the best p...
