Human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34+ cells (purchased from Lonza or Stem Cell Technologies) or FACS-purified CD34+CD38-CD90+CD49f+ cells (following staining with APC-CD34 [Biolegend; 560940], PE-CD38 [BD; 347687], FITC-CD90 [Biolegend; 328113], and APC/Cy7-CD49f [Biolegend; 313611]) were cultured in IMDM (Life Technologies) containing 0.1% HSA or 0.1% PVA (Sigma P8136, 363081, or 363146), supplemented with 1% ITSX, 1% P/S/G, 10 mM HEPES. For proliferation assays, 50 cells were seeded per well and supplemented with 10 ng/ml human SCF and 100 ng/ml human TPO (Peprotech). During the cultures, media was refreshed every three days and counted at day-7. For xenograft assays, 2×103 cells were expanded for 7-days before being injected intravenously into sub-lethally-irradiated (1.5 Gy) NOG mice. Human cell chimerism in the PB was calculated at 16-weeks post-transplantation using PE/Cy7-CD45.1 (Biolegend; 110730) and V450-hCD45 antibodies (BD; 560367).

Isolation of CD34+ Cells from Frozen UCB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Frozen UCB units were provided by the Japanese Red Cross Kanto-Koshinetsu Cord Blood Bank (Tokyo, Japan). Isolation of human CD34+ cells from frozen UCB samples starts with introduction of thawed UCB units into CliniMACS Prodigy equipment (Miltenyi Biotec). In a closed tube-bag system, UCB cells were washed in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (Sigma Aldrich) containing DNase I (Roche), followed by centrifugation (420 g). This medium was replaced by CliniMACS Buffer and MNCs were isolated from the entire unit in a gradient formed using Ficoll-Paque Premium buffer (GE Healthcare; P = 1.084). MNCs were then washed three times in CliniMACS Buffer and mesh filtered. All these steps were conducted in an automated manner directed by an optimized program (available upon request). Beyond this point, manual positive selection was conducted (CD34 MicroBeads kit; Miltenyi Biotec), generally twice, to increase CD34 purity (possibly ∼100%), as analyzed by staining cells with an FITC-conjugated anti–human lineage antibody cocktail, APC-CD34, Pacific Blue-CD45 (BioLegend), and PE/Cyanine7-CD38 (eBioscience).

The mSGSCs were characterized based on the 3 different culture media for mesenchymal, endothelial, fetal, and hematopoietic cell membrane markers of stem cells, such as CD90/Thy-1, CD73, CD146/MUC18, STRO-1, CD105, CD106, CD34, and the embryonic marker SSEA-4, as well as glandular epithelial cell markers (cytokeratins 7/8, 14, 18) by flow cytometry as described previously (Andreadis et al. 2014 (link)). For flow cytometry, the following fluorochrome conjugated mouse anti-human antibodies were used: CD90/Τhy-1-FITC, CD73-PE, CD146/MUC18-PE, STRO-1-FITC, CD105/endoglin-APC, CD106/VCAM-1-APC, CD34-APC, SSEA-4-FITC, cytokeratins 7/8-ΡΕ, cytokeratin 14-FITC, and cytokeratin 18-FITC (all BioLegend, Fell, Germany). Analysis was performed with the Guava® cytometer easyCyte 8HT benchtop flow cytometer (Merck Millipore, USA). A total of 50,000 events per sample were recorded, and data were analyzed with the software GuavaSoft 3.1.1 and Summit 5.1. In addition to determining the percentage of cells positive for each marker, the cell size and cell internal complexity (granularity) distribution profiles were analyzed by forward scatter (FSC) vs side scatter (SSC) fluorescence intensity plots, respectively.

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.
