Description

Porcine Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from porcine tibias and femurs and grown in tissue culture flasks with Cell Biologics’ Complete Growth Medium. Cells at passage 1-2 are harvested from flasks and cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5x10⁶ cells per ml. Porcine Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells are characterized by immunofluorescence staining with antibody of CD44, Sca-1 or CD29. These cells can be expanded for 2-3 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells are not recommended.

Suggested Medium

M5566 Mesenchymal Cell Medium w/ Kit (500 ml)

Storage

Cryopreserved Cells are shipped with dry ice overnight. Upon arrival, transfer frozen cells to liquid nitrogen (-180°C) immediately until ready for use. Live cell shipment is also available on request. Primary cells can never be kept at -20 °C or -80 °C freezer.

Disclaimer

Investigators should handle the cells with caution and treat all animal cells as potential pathogens, since no test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
