CD34+ cells were prepared as previously described 10, 11, 12. The CD34+ cell fraction had a purity of 80%–90% as determined by fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. Freshly isolated CD34+ (pre‐QQc) cells from healthy and diabetic patients were placed in an ex vivo serum‐free expansion culture QQc as previously described 13. In brief, the cells were seeded at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well in 24‐well Primaria plates (BD Falcon, Franklin Lakes, NJ), with 0.5 ml/well StemSpan SFEM medium (Stem Cell Tech., Vancouver, BC, Canada) supplemented with recombinant human (rh) VEGF (50 ng/ml), rhIL‐6 (20 ng/ml), rhFlt3‐ligand (100 ng/ml), rh thrombopoietin (20 ng/ml), rhSCF (100 ng/ml) (all from PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ), and antibiotic cocktail (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and cultured for 7 days at 37°C in 5% CO2.

OP9 cells expressing Delta-like 4 (OP9-DL4) were maintained in α-minimum essential medium supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (OP9 medium) as previously described (Schmitt and Zuniga-Pflucker, 2002 (link)). A total of 3–5 × 104 sorted human EB-derived CD34+ was added to individual wells of a 6-well plate containing OP9-DL4 cells, and cultured in OP9 medium supplemented with recombinant human (rh)FLT3L (5 ng/mL), rhIL-7 (5 ng/mL), and rhSCF (100 ng/mL) (PeproTech).

CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors were isolated from mobilised peripheral blood (Department of Transfusion & Tissue Medicine of the Brno University Hospital) using the CD34 MicroBead Kit UltraPure (Miltenyi Biotec) following manufacturer recommendation.
5 × 106 CD34+ cells were seeded at a concentration of 105 cells/ml in human mast cell media (StemPRO-34 (Gibco), 100 U/ml Penicillin, 100 ug/ml Streptomycin, 1 × GlutaMAX (Gibco), 100 ng/ml rhSCF (Peprotech), 100 ng/ml rhIL6 (Stemcell Technologies)). During the first week of culture, 100 ng/ml rhIL3 (Stemcell Technologies) were added to the media. Media was changed weekly by hemi-depletion and cells were maintained at a concentration below 5 × 105/ml.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
