MesenCult™-XF Medium

Defined, xeno-free medium for human mesenchymal stem cells

Size:1 Kit

Overview

MesenCult™-XF Medium is a standardized, xeno-free, serum-free medium for the culture of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MesenCult™-XF Medium is optimized for the expansion of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro as well as their enumeration using the colony-forming unit - fibroblast (CFU-F) assay. MesenCult™-XF Medium supports long-term growth of MSCs and cells maintain multi-lineage differentiation potential. MesenCult™-XF Medium must be used in conjunction with the MesenCult™-SF Attachment Substrate (Catalog #05424) and the MesenCult™-ACF Dissociation Kit (Catalog #05426). Components of the MesenCult™-SF Attachment Substrate and the MesenCult™-ACF Dissociation Kit are pre-screened and tested for optimal cell adherence when cells are cultured with MesenCult™-XF Medium. MesenCult™-XF Medium must also be supplemented with L-glutamine.

NOTE: MesenCult™-XF Medium and MesenCult™-SF Attachment Substrate are also available as part of the MesenCult™-SF Culture Kit (Catalog #05429).

Passage 2 MSCs generated in MesenCult™-XF or a traditional serum-based medium were treated with mitomycin C prior to co-culture with T cells. T cells were purified from peripheral blood using EasySep™ (Catalog #19051) immunomagnetic separation and fluorescently labeled using 5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (5(6)CFDA,SE, CFSE). 2 x 10e5 CFSE-labeled T cells were cultured with 1 x 10e5 MSCs in serum-free medium supplemented with 100 U/mL IL-2. T cells were stimulated with tetrameric antibody complexes against CD3ε, CD28 and CD2. On days 3 and 7, cells were harvested, stained with anti-CD45 antibody and propidium iodide and the T cell division history measured as CFSE dye dilution analyzed by flow cytometry.
