Knockout serum 20

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

Knockout Serum 20 is a cell culture supplement that is commonly used to inhibit the growth and proliferation of specific cell lines. It is designed to selectively remove undifferentiated cells from a mixed cell population, allowing for the enrichment of differentiated cell types.

Human cortical spheroids were generated from iPSC as previously described31 (link). Briefly, iPSC lines derived from two healthy control individuals were grown on inactivated mouse embryonic fibroblast feeders in the following medium: DMEM/F12, Knockout Serum 20%, 1 mM non-essential amino acids (1:100), GlutaMax (1:200), β-mercaptoethanol (0.1 mM), penicillin and streptomycin (1:100) (Life Technologies). Cultures were regularly tested and maintained mycoplasma free. Colonies of iPSCs were detached intact with dispase (0.35 mg/ml, Invitrogen) and transferred into low-attachment plates in iPSC medium supplemented with dorsomorphin (5 μM, Sigma) and SB-431542 (10 μM, Tocris), and the medium was changed daily. On day six of in vitro differentiation, neural spheroids were transferred to NPC medium (Neurobasal A, B27 without vitamin A, GlutaMax (1:100), penicillin and streptomycin; Life Technologies), which was supplemented with EGF (20 ng/ml) and FGF2 (20 ng/ml) until day 24, and then supplemented with BDNF (20 ng/ml) and NT3 (20 ng/ml) from day 25 to 42. From day 43 onwards, cortical spheroids were maintained in NPC medium, which was changed every 4 days.

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.
