Immortalized Human Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (cbMSC-hTERT) | T0016

Immortalized Human Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (cbMSC-hTERT) | T0016

Similarly, the Immortalized Human Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stromal Cells with RFP (cbMSC-hTERT-RFP; Cat. T0017) exhibits comparable characteristics as cbMSC-hTERT with the addition of red fluorescent protein labelling. Transplantation of cbMSC-hTERT-RFP into the rat model with TBI demonstrates that these cells are readily attracted to the injury area and thus provides a valuable cell-based tool for stem cell transplantation and in vivo detection.

Propagation:

The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available at abm . To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 20% fetal bovine serum , 4 ng/ml bFGF (Cat. Z101455) and Penicillin/streptomycin. It is recommended to renew medium every 2 to 3 days.

Quality Control:

1) RT-PCR was used to confirm the expression of the hTERT transgene in the immortalized cells; 2) TRAP assay was performed to determine the telomerase activity; 3) Flow cytometry was used to detect surface markers such as CD29, CD73, CD105, CD44 and HLA-ABC; 4) G-banding was used for karyotype analysis; 5) Tumuorigenicity assay was performed to evaluate the cells’ tumorigenic potential.
