Germline-derived Pluripotent Stem Cells (gPS)

Cells are grown on Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast Feeder Cells (Cat. No. T2001). The basal medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM003. To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium to the stated final concentration: 15% fetal bovine serum (TM999), MEM nonessential amino acids (ThermoFisher; 11140-050), 2 mM L-glutamine (G275), 50 µM β-mercaptoethanol (CH045), 10 ³ U/ml ESGRO, and Penicillin/Streptomycin (G255). Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 5%, Temperature:37.0°C.. For in vitro glial differentiation: gPS cells aggregated to embryoid bodies. The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available from ABM (TM003). To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium to the stated final concentration: 15% fetal bovine serum (TM999), MEM nonessential amino acids (ThermoFisher; 11140-050), 2 mM L-glutamine (G275), 50 µM β-mercaptoethanol (CH045), 10 ³ U/ml ESGRO (EMD Millipore; ESG1107), and Penicillin/Streptomycin (G255). Atmosphere: air: 95%, CO₂: 5%; Temperature: 37.0°C.
Culture the cells with the complete growth media in presence of 10 ng/ml FGF2 (Z101455) and 20 ng/ml EGF (Z100135), followed by propagating cells in complete growth media with 10 ng/ml FGF2 (Z101455) and 10 ng/ml PDGF (Z100365) for 4 days. Differentiation is induced via 4-day growth factor withdrawal in presence of 30 ng/µl 3,3,5-tri-iodothyronine (T3; Sigma) and 200 µM ascorbic acid (AA; Sigma) in complete growth media. Atmosphere: air: 95%, CO₂: 5%; Temperature: 37.0°C.

For in vitro cardiomyocytes differentiation: gPS cells cultivated in hanging drops as aggregates to embryoid bodies for 48 hours. The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available from ABM (TM003). To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium to the stated final concentration: 20% fetal bovine serum (TM999), MEM nonessential amino acids (ThermoFisher; 11140-050), 2 mM L-glutamine (G275), 50 µM β-mercaptoethanol (CH045), 10 ³ U/ml ESGRO (EMD Millipore; ESG1107), and Penicillin/Streptomycin (G255). Atmosphere: air: 95%, CO₂: 5%; Temperature: 37.0°C.
After 48 hours, resuspend cells with 5 ml complete growth media and propagate cells as suspension in bacteriological petri dish for 5 days. Then plate embryoid bodies separately onto gelatin-coated 24 wells. Once attached, cardiomyocytes should appear between epithelial-like embryoid body cell outgrowth.

2. Sale of this item is subjected to the completion of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) by the purchasing individual/institution for each order. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at [email protected].

3. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 μg, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 μg, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final.

4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping).
