Agarose Overlay Assay Protocol - http://embryo.ib.amwaw.edu.pl/invittox/prot/31.htm

Category: Pharmacology and Toxicology Protocols: Cytotoxicity Protocols: Cytotoxicity Assays in Cell Culture Protocols

Protocol descibes the use of L929 mouse fibroblast cells cultured in vitro in an agarose overlay assay to assess the toxicity of test substances. The assay may be useful in assessing the irritation potential of test substances (e.g. surfactant-based products) as an alternative to the Draize rabbit eye test. - [Read Agarose Overlay Assay Protocol]

Differentiation of Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells Using the Hanging Drop Method - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4485

Category: Stem Cell Protocols: Stem Cell Culture Protocols

In vitro differentiation of ES cells occurs when the cells are allowed to aggregate in suspension culture in the absence of mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeders and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). Hanging drops provide a uniform aggregate size, which is then expanded by continued growth in suspension culture. The embryoid bodies are then plated and allowed to differentiate further in culture. - [Read Differentiation of Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells Using the Hanging Drop Method]

Human Skin Fibroblast/Collagen Lattice Cytotoxicity Test - http://embryo.ib.amwaw.edu.pl/invittox/prot/27.htm#TOP

Category: Pharmacology and Toxicology Protocols: Cytotoxicity Protocols: Cell Specific Cytotoxicity Assays Protocols

Skin fibroblasts are incorporated into 3-D collagen lattices containing the test compounds. An inhibition of lattice contraction indicates a possible toxic effect which is verified by trypan blue exclusion for cell viability. - [Read Human Skin Fibroblast/Collagen Lattice Cytotoxicity Test]

Isolation and Freezing of Primary Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) For Feeder Plates - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4482

Category: Stem Cell Protocols: Feeder Cell Preparation Protocols

This protocol describes the isolation of fibroblasts from mouse embryos. Mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells are used as a feeder layer for the culture of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to help maintain them as pluripotent stem cells. The inhibition of ES-cell differentiation provided by the MEF feeders appears to be due to their production of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). - [Read Isolation and Freezing of Primary Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) For Feeder Plates]

Preparation of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (MEF) Feeder Plates Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4483

Category: Stem Cell Protocols: Feeder Cell Preparation Protocols

MEF feeders are prepared weekly to provide a substrate for undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells. Primary MEF cells are thawed, established in culture, treated with mitomycin C to halt their proliferation so they cannot overgrow the ES cultures, and then replated onto dishes convenient for ES cell culture. This protocol can also be used to prepare feeder cells from STO fibroblast cell lines. - [Read Preparation of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (MEF) Feeder Plates Protocol]

Preparing Feeder Cell Layers from STO or Mouse Embryo Fibroblast (MEF) Cells Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/16/pdb.prot4400

Category: Stem Cell Protocols: Feeder Cell Preparation Protocols

This protocol describes the preparation of feeder cells from MEF cells or from the STO mouse fibroblast cell line. The cells are rendered mitotically inactive by treatment with {gamma}-irradiation. The feeder layers can then be used to maintain embryonic stem (ES) cells in the undifferentiated state. - [Read Preparing Feeder Cell Layers from STO or Mouse Embryo Fibroblast (MEF) Cells Protocol]

Category: Stem Cell Protocols: Feeder Cell Preparation Protocols

This protocol describes the culture of embryonic stem (ES) cells using mitotically inactivating primary mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells as a feeder layer (preparation described in Preparation of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (MEF) Feeder Plates). The ES culture medium is supplemented with recombinant leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) to help maintain the cells as pluripotent stem cells. This protocol has been optimized for the ES-D3 cell line. - [Read Propagation of Pluripotent Mouse Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells Protocol]
