StemPro™ Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (Gibco™)

Human Adipose Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) are isolated from human lipoaspirate tissue and cryopreserved from primary cultures. Before being cryopreserved the ADSCs are expanded for one passage in MesenPRO RS™ Medium (Cat. no. 12746-012) - a revolutionary new reduced serum (2%) medium that results in reduced ADSC doubling times. Each lot of ADSCs originates from a single donor of human lipoaspirate tissue. Each vial of ADSCs contains cells that can differentiate into multiple mature cell phenotypes in vitro including adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. ADSCs have demonstrated very similar phenotypic and functional characteristics to that of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The ADSCs express a flow cytometry cell surface protein profile as follows: positive CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166; negative CD14, CD31, CD45, Lin1. For optimal ADSC growth and expansion, MesenPRO RS™ Medium is recommended.

BG01V/hOG Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) (Gibco™)

Variant hESC hOct4-GFP Reporter Cells

BG01V/hOG Cells are derived from the BG01V human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line (ATCC No. SCRC-2002) (Mitalipova et al. (2003); Plaia et al. (2006)). BG01V cells stain positively for pluripotency markers and can differentiate to representatives of all three primary germ layers. An integration vector containing an EmGFP (Emerald Green Fluorescent Protein) gene directed by the human Oct4 promoter and followed by the HSV-TK polyadenylation signal was stably integrated into the genome of BG01V cells. The engineered cells express EmGFP under the appropriate conditions when the Oct4 promoter is active. This promoter is only active when hESCs are in the pluripotent state and therefore acts as a sensitive indicator of differentiation (Pan et al. (2002)).

Applications:
1. BG01V/hOG Cells are engineered to enable monitoring of pluripotency of hESCs without sacrificing cells. When pluripotent, these cells express EmGFP. EmGFP expression is lost upon differentiation.
2. BG01V/hOG Cells can be used as a reporter of the culture’s response to external stimuli including media composition, stress, and whether or not culture conditions are adequate to maintain hESCs in an undifferentiated state.
3. BG01V/hOG Cells can be used to determine the efficiency of your differentiation assays.

Intended use:
Research use only. Caution: Not intended for human or animal diagnostic or therapeutic uses.

Contents and Storage:
The vial of BG01V/hOG Cells should be stored in liquid nitrogen.

Rat Glial Precursor Cells (Gibco™)

Ready-to use system: Upon proliferation in StemPro® NSC-SFM, >80% of the cells retain their undifferentiated Phenotype, good post-thaw cell viability (≥ 50%), and supports differentiation into Oligodendrocytes and Astrocytes. Gibco® Rat Glial Precursor Cells (GPC) offer researchers ready access to high quality cells and eliminate the time and effort to isolate these highly sensitive cells in house. Glial Precursor Cells are isolated from the cortex of newborn Sprague-Dawley rats. The cells are isolated under sterile conditions, expanded in complete StemPro® NSC SFM, and cryopreserved at passage 2 (P2). Each vial contains 1 × 106 cells/ml viable cells (post-thaw) that can be expanded once to give >2 fold increase of cells. Upon proliferation in StemPro® NSC SFM, >80% of cells retain their undifferentiated Phenotype and can be differentiated into Oligodendrocytes and Astrocytes. Glial Precursor Cells are the restricted progenitors, and the majority of their down stream progeny are Oligodendrocytes and Astrocytes. Oligodendrocytes produce myelin to protect neurons and secure proper signal transduction. Demyelination is involved with critical diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Addison-Schilder Disease (ALD) etc.

Human Episomal iPSC Line (Gibco™)

The Gibco® Human Episomal iPSC Line was derived from CD34+ cord blood using a three-plasmid, seven-factor (SOKMNLT; SOX2, OCT4 (POU5F1), KLF4, MYC, NANOG, LIN28, and SV40L T antigen) EBNA-based episomal system. This iPSC line is considered to be zero foot-print as there was no integration into the genome from the reprogramming event.It has been shown to be free of all reprogramming genes and will provide researchers with a control line to compare and study a multitude of aspects of stem cell research.

The Gibco® Human Episomal iPSC Line has a normal karyotype and endogenous expression of pluripotent markers like Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog (as shown by RT-PCR) and Oct4, SSEA4, TRA-1-60 and TRA-1-81 (as shown by ICC). Whole genome expression and epigenetic profiling analyses demonstrated that this episomal hiPSC line is molecularly indistinguishable from human embryonic stem cell lines (Burridge et al., 2011). In directed differentiation and teratoma analyses, these hiPSCs retained their differentiation potential for the ectodermal, endodermal, and mesodermal lineages (Burridge et al., 2011). In addition, vascular, hematopoietic, neural, and cardiac lineages were derived with robust efficiencies (Burridge et al., 2011).

About neural stem cells
Neural Stem Cells (NSC) are self-renewing multipotent stem cells of nervous system that can differentiate into neurons, oliogdendrocytes, and astrocytes. Multipotent neural stem cells can be isolated from fetal or adult central nervous system tissue, or derived from embryonic stem cells. In development, neurogenesis takes place in the third to fourth week of gestation and continues in specific regions of the central nervous system. Because of their capacity to generate neurons and glial cells, neural stem cells are a valuable resource, not only for neuroscience, but also for the potential treatment of neurodegenerative disease and neurological disorders. Adult-derived NSCs tend to be regionally restricted and have limited plasticity compared to fetal-derived NSC.

Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells
Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) or hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can be found in the blood, bone marrow, umbilical cord blood, or derived from Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). They are multipotent stem cells capable of forming every cell lineage in the blood and immune system. Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) are non-adherent, with a small, round morphology. A fundamental property of these cells is their capacity to self-renew, thus providing, in principle, a limitless source of daughter cells with the same functional properties. Several cell surface markers used for identifying human HPCs/HSCs include CD34+, CD59+, Thy1/CD90+, CD38 lo/-, C-kit/CD117+, Lin-.

Common Applications
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are most commonly used in transplantation therapies to treat illnesses such as leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle cell diseases by reconstituting a patient's hematopoietic cell system.

High Purity Stem Cells for Higher Reprogramming Efficiency
HPCs/HSCs can be reprogrammed to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for use as disease models in stem cell research. StemPro® CD34+ cells have ≥90% CD34+ cells, as determined by Flow Cytometry, affording higher reprogramming efficiency than less pure populations. Protocols using CytoTune®-iPS Sendai Reprogramming Kit are available on our website and included in the product insert.

Isolation of CD34+ Cells from Cord Blood
StemPro® CD34+ primary cord blood cells from multiple human donors originating and collected in the United States are pooled and then enriched for the CD34+ cell population using immunomagnetic CD34 MicroBeads. Pooling the cord blood from multiple donors reduces the lot-to-lot variability of the product. The cells are derived from tissue obtained from accredited institutions through an IRB (Institutional Review Board) approved donor program and are negative for HIV and Hepatitis B.

Quality control
QC for the StemPro® CD34+ cells includes testing for the following: mycoplasma, sterility, endotoxin, and FACS profile.

QC for StemPro-34 SFM includes testing for the following: Sterility, pH, endotoxin, osmolality, Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, HIV 1&2 antibody, HCV antibody, and CD34+ cell performance assay.

Serum Free Medium Developed for CD34+ Cell Expansion
StemPro®-34 SFM is comprised of a basal liquid medium and frozen StemPro®-34 Nutrient Supplement. This serum-free media system was developed to support the growth of human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells. Sera can vary from lot to lot in its ability to support cell-specific growth in culture. Serum-free culture systems eliminate this major variable in the study of hematopoiesis ex vivo. StemPro®-34 SFM can be purchased separately.
