Description
Growing and expanding primary, differentiated adult cells in culture is difficult and laborious because many differentiated cells can only be maintained in vitro for a limited period of time. However, for controlled experiments, it may be necessary to maintain a consistent population of cells.
Maintaining a population of adult stem cells (ASCs), allows one to exponentially propagate a population of cells in vitro, and induce differentiation when desired. This is possible with SACK cell strains and specified cell culture conditions.
SACK ASC cell properties – Long-term propagation in xanthosine (Xs)-supplemented medium
Suppressed asymmetric cell kinetics
Differentiated progeny cell properties – Xs-free medium, confluent monolayer, serum reduction
