Gibco® Mouse (C57BL⁄6) Embryonic Stem Cells

Category: Products & Services > Eukaryotic Cells > Stem Cells > Embryonic Stem Cells

Mouse Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were isolated from mouse (Strain C57BL⁄6) embryos at Day E3.5. Before cryopreservation, the cells were tested for viability (>70% post-thaw viability), their ability to remain undifferentiated when cultured on mouse feeder cells as assayed by marker expression (Oct4, SSEA-1, Nanog) and their ability to differentiate into embryoid bodies and express markers indicative of three germ layers (Ectoderm: (+) for β3-tubulin and nestin, Mesoderm: (+) for smooth muscle actin, Endoderm: (+) for AFP). Cells were cryopreserved at passage 20 (P20). For optimal growth perfo...
