Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
MSCs may be cultured in either serum-containing medium or serum-free medium. The standard culturing conditions are DMEM, low glucose with 10% FBS. MSCs can also be grown in reduced-serum (2%) Gibco MesenPRO RS Medium (Cat. No. 12746-012), or in serum-free Gibco StemPro MSC SFM XenoFree Medium (Cat. No. A10675) and Gibco StemPro MSC SFM (Cat. No. A10332). In general, MSCs grow better under hypoxic conditions (2% O2).
Human MSCs can be identified by flow cytometry, typically displaying CD73+, CD90+, CD105+, CD11b-, and CD45- marker characteristics (Blood 109:4245 (2007)). Human MSC expresses Oct4, Sox2, and Rex-1; these may be verified using RT-PCR (Arthritis Res Ther 9:204 (2007)).
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells isolated primarily from bone marrow or fat tissues that exhibit the ability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells. Under normal cell culture conditions, MSCs isolated from bone marrow are spindle shaped with the unique ability to adhere to uncoated plastic culture dishes (Arthritis Res Ther 9:204 (2007)).
For human ex vivo tissue and cell culture processing applications. CAUTION: When used as a medical device, Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
