Murine ES v6.5 cells were purchased from Open Biosystems. mES cells were maintained in an undifferentiated, feeder-free state in leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) supplemented medium (Knockout Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) with 15% ES-FBS (Invitrogen), 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine (Invitrogen), 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids (Invitrogen), 1000 U/mL recombinant LIF (Chemicon, Temecula CA), and 2 mM HEPES (Invitrogen). Cells were cultured on gelatin-coated (0.1% gelatin in PBS, coated for 2h at 37°C) T-75 flasks at 37C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. Cells were passaged every 2–3 days to maintain an undifferentiated state.
For initial differentiation assays, mES cells were introduced to collagen IV flasks (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and maintained in α-minimum essential medium (α-MEM) (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% ES-FBS (Invitrogen), 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine (Invitrogen), 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids (Invitrogen), and 2 mM HEPES (Invitrogen).

Mouse ES-D3 [D3](ATCC CRL-1934) were propagated on growth-arrested mouse embryonic fibroblasts (CF-1 MEF, GlobalStem) in ES FBS medium consisting of DMEM supplemented with 15% ES FBS (Invitrogen), 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM MEM NEAA, 100 nM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 × penicillin-streptomycin, and 103 U/mL LIF (ESGRO, Millipore). Undifferentiated mouse ESCs were kept at 37 °C, 5% CO2 and 90–95% humidity, with medium exchanged daily, and passaged every 3 days using trypsin-EDTA. Prior to differentiation, cells were cultured in 6-well tissue culture plates pre-coated with 0.1 mg/ml fibronectin for 24 hrs in ES FBS media. To initiate differentiation, cells were switched to endoderm differentiation media containing IMDM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% ES-FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM MEM NEAA, 100 nM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 × penicillin-streptomycin, and 50 ng/ml Activin A (Invitrogen) for 4 days to generate definite endoderm (DE) cells. From day 5 through day 7 DE cells were cultured in the same differentiation media together with 50 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factors (bFGF) to induce DE cells into mLPCs. Fresh media was exchanged every two days throughout the differentiation experiments.

Generation of iPSCs from SOD1 Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs), expressing the motor neuron Hb9∷GFP reporter, obtained from SOD1WT and SOD1G93A mice were converted to iPSCs. As previously described, retrovirus encoding OCT3/4 and KLF4 were sufficient to generate iPSC clones (Hester et al., 2009 (link); Kim et al., 2008 (link)). Twenty viral particles per cell were needed to efficiently reprogram the cells. Cells were cultured in the presence of NPC media for four days followed by a change to mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) media with DMEM (Millipore, Billerica, MA), supplemented with 18% ES FBS (Invitrogen), L-glutamine (2mM, Invitrogen), nonessential amino acids (1×, Millipore), antibiotic-antimycotic (Invitrogen), 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma), and recombinant LIF (100U/ml, Millipore). iPSC clones were morphologically similar to mouse ESCs (HBG3 cells, Thomas Jessell, Columbia University) and were obtained within two weeks. A wide panel of markers was used to compare ESCs with the newly generated iPSC lines and found no significant difference for their expression between cell lines.

Culturing and Differentiating Trophoblast Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TSCs isolated from C57BL/6 laboratory mice were cultured in PMEF-conditioned medium (RPMI) supplemented with 10% ES-FBS (Invitrogen), 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic (Invitrogen), 25 ng/ml FGF4 (Sigma), 1 μg/ml Heparin (Sigma), 0.1 mM 2-Mercaptoethanol (Sigma), and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Sigma) at 37 °C in a humidified chamber with 5% CO2 as described elsewhere [15 (link), 22 ]. The differentiation of TSCs into polyploid TGCs was induced by growing the cells in RPMI medium supplemented only with 10% FBS and 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic. For the best differentiation, TSCs were kept in differentiation medium for 4 days. For subculturing, TSCs were detached from the plates with 0.05% trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 5–10 min. trypsin was inactivated by addition of culture medium to the flasks; cells were centrifuged and resuspended in culture medium and replated at the desired density.

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.
