Human Embryonic Stem Cells Handbook by Ana Maria Fraga, Érica Sara Souza de Araújo (auth.), Kursad

By Ana Maria Fraga, Érica Sara Souza de Araújo (auth.), Kursad Turksen (eds.)

Considerable advances have taken position because the preliminary isolation and characterization of human embryonic stem (HES) cells; even if, major demanding situations stay prior to their strength for recovery and regeneration strategies in sufferers may be discovered. knowing the variety among HES mobile strains and understanding the power to isolate traces with powerful differentiation power stay tricky. within the Human Embryonic Stem Cells Handbook, specialists within the box supply an collection of protocols which were utilized by a variety of laboratories all over the world with the intention to permit either rookies and skilled investigators to check and distinction assorted methods to HES cellphone isolation and characterization with the desire that, from those protocols, researchers may possibly standardize methods for HES telephone biology. Written within the Methods in Molecular Biology™ sequence layout, chapters comprise introductions to their respective subject matters, lists of the required fabrics and reagents, step by step, without difficulty reproducible laboratory protocols, and counsel for troubleshooting and heading off identified pitfalls.

Authoritative and obtainable, Human Embryonic Stem Cells Handbook serves as a helpful reference for scientists pursuing this important box and its huge, immense potential.

Culture zona-free blastocysts on irradiated human foreskin fibroblasts in multiwell cell culture plates in HES medium containing 20 ng/mL of hbFGF. 6. Incubate the plate in standard conditions with no manipulation for 3 days. 7. Change HES medium every 48 h and maintain the culture for 2–3 weeks, until outgrowth with hESC appears. 8. Dissociate mechanically the outgrowth avoiding the areas corresponding to trophectoderm. 9. Replate the isolated fragments in a new well containing new irradiated feeder and fresh HES medium.

4. Eviscerate and decapitate the foetuses. Transfer the body tissue into a collecting tube with PBS2− + 2× penicillin/streptomycin. 5. All steps from this point are to be carried out in a tissue culture hood using aseptic techniques. 6. Wash the embryos twice with fresh PBS2− + 2× pen/strep. 7. Transfer three embryos into a 60 mm dish and finely mince the embryos using sterile single edge razor or scalpel blades. Add 1 ml of trypsin/EDTA and incubate for 5 min at 37°C. 8. Inactivate the trypsin/EDTA by adding 5 ml of MEF media.

Spin at 350 × g for 5 min, aspirate off the supernatant and resuspend cells in FACS buffer. 3. Centrifuge at 350 × g for 5 min resuspend cells in FACS blocking buffer (volume dependent on the number of antibodies being stained for—50 ml/antibody). 4. Dispense 50 ml of the cell suspension into Facs tubes, and incubate on ice for 10 min. 5. Add the primary antibody to the appropriate tube and store on ice for 45 min (in the dark if using preconjugated antibodies). 3 Procedures for Derivation and Characterisation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells… 45 Table 2 List of antibodies with catalogue numbers and dilutions used in flow cytometry 1 mg/106 cells Oct3/4 Santa Cruz Biotechnology sc-5279 IgG2b (Oct isotype) Southern Biotech 0103-09 Tra1-60 eBiosciences 12-8863-82 1 mg/106 cells Tra1-81 eBiosciences 12-8883-82 1 mg/106 cells SSEA1 Developmental Hybridoma Studies Bank MC-480 10 ml/105 cells IgM (SSEA1) secondary Southern Biotech 1022-09 10 ml/106 cells IgM Isotype eBiosciences 12-4752-73 SSEA4 R&D Systems FAB1435P 10 ml/105 cells IgG3a (SSEA4 isotype) Southern Biotech 0105-09 10 ml/106 cells 10 ml/106 cells 1 mg/106 cells 6.
