Establishment, Culture and Freezing of Human and Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells: a Protocol Guide
Authors
Abstract:
Studies of the biology of human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) have developed rapidly over the past nine years since the first reports of their derivation. They clearly offer enormous potential, not only for regenerative medicine, but also for drug discovery and toxicology, human developmental biology and cancer research. Realizing these potentials a better understanding of the fundamental aspects of hES cells in vitro including maintaining , the quality of cells in their pluripotent state as well as improving aspects of experimental preparations , subpassaging and cryopereservation .The basic protocol describes the generation of mouse ES cells on mouse embryonic fibroblasts to provide simple method to hES cell establishment . Here we describe step by step the protocol of mouse and human ES cell generation, maintenance, subculturing , and cry preservation.

Freezing and Thawing Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Since James Thomson et al developed a technique in 1998 to isolate and grow hES in culture, freezing cells for later use and thawing and expanding cells from a frozen stock have become important procedures performed in routine hES cell culture. Since hES cells are very sensitive to the stresses of freezing and thawing, special care must taken. Here we demonstrate the proper technique for rapidl...

Differentiation of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells into Hematopoietic Cells
Purpose: Differentiation of Mouse embryonicstem cells into Hematopoietic cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, we used EB formation system for Hematopoietic differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cell (Royan B1) in suspension culture. EBs cultured in medium with Hematopoietic inducer cytokines (SCF, TPO, GMCSF, IL3, Flt3 and EPO) .presence of hematopoietic differentiated cell assessed ...

Objective(s): In some previous studies, the extract of embryonic carcinoma cells (ECCs) and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have been used to reprogram somatic cells to more dedifferentiated state. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mouse ESCs extract on the expression of some pluripotency markers in human adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Materials and Methods: Human A...

Objective(s): Sertoli cells support in vivo germ cell production; but, its exact mechanism has not been well understood. The present study was designed to analyze the effect of Sertoli cells in differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to germ cells. Materials and Methods: A fusion construct composed of a Stra8 gene promoter and the coding region of enhanced green fluorescence p...
full textCulture of human embryonic stem cells on human and mouse feeder cells.
This chapter describes the methods we use to maintain and expand undifferentiated human embryonic stem (hES) cells on human and mouse feeder cells. All of the available hES cells have been derived and propagated on primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts as feeder cells that have been mitotically inactivated. We found that hES cells can be successfully cultured on selected human feeder cells, such ...
