What is the shelf-life for all the media associated with Human mesenchymal stem cells?

The shelf-life of the MSCGM™ Mesenchymal Stem Cell Growth Medium BulletKit™ (PT-3001) once the SingleQuots Kit is added is 30 days. For the differentiation kits:hMSC differentiation BulletKit™ – osteogenic (PT-3002)hMSC differentiation...

What is the difference between the different cell sources (bone marrow, cord blood, or fetal liver) for CD34+ cells?

Bone Marrow: provides a hematopoietic microenvironment and the highest number of different donors.Cord Blood: more naive cells useful in transplant and stem cell research.Fetal Liver: best for developmental studies and they are highly proliferative....

What is the function of retinoic acid in the BEGM® media? 

In vivo, bronchial epithelial cells differentiate along an abnormal squamous pathway under conditions of retinoid deficiency. The squamous phenotype is characterized by the induction of specific markers such as keratin 13, and the enzymes...

What are Lonza's human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (PT-2501) cryopreserved in?

The cryopreservation medium is: 85% MSCBM 10% DMSO 5% Human Serum Albumin (w/v)

What is the percentage of CD34+ cells in the bone marrow mononuclear cell population?

CD34+ cells make up about 2% of the population in bone marrow mononuclear cells.

How is the B-ALI Media System performance tested?

The media system is performance tested with our pre-screened NHBE cells and that system is guaranteed to form ciliated, mucous-producing cells after 3 weeks of culture.

In Air-Liquid-Interface (ALI) Culture, won't the apical surface of B-ALI Cells dry out?

No, the cells secrete fluid at the apical side but also moisture is drawn through the cell layer from the basal layer.

What passage are your B-ALI (Bronchial Air Liquid Interface) cells when plating on transwells?

The cryopreserved epithelial cells, that are screened and guaranteed for differentiation in B-ALI™ (Bronchial Air Liquid Interface) are in P1, the cells plated in transwells are P2. We do not recommend expansion of the cells before...

Can I expand the mononuclear cells, CD34+ progenitors, without differentiating them?

No, the cells will proliferate and differentiate simultaneously upon being placed in culture. Varying the cytokine cocktail can influence the differentiation and proliferation of the cells.

How many culture/trans-wells does your B-ALI Media Kit kit provide?

1 Ampoule of Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells (NHBE) + 1 B-ALI™ Media Kit will make one 24-well plate for at least 1 month of culture & cells will display beating cilia within 25 days.
