Protocols and information related to feeder cell preparation.
| Irradiating and Plating MEF's Protocol - http://ink.primate.wisc.edu/~thomson/pdfs/plating_MEF.pdf Protocol for irradiating and plating MEF's. - [Read Irradiating and Plating MEF's Protocol] |
| Isolation and Freezing of Primary Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) For Feeder Plates - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4482 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 Feeder Layers from Primary Embryonic Fibroblasts Protocol - http://escore.im.wustl.edu/htmldocs/mefs.htm Protocol for the preparation of feeder layers from primary embryonic fibroblasts. - [Read Preparation of Feeder Layers from Primary Embryonic Fibroblasts Protocol] |
| Preparation of Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast (MEF) Feeder Plates Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4483 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] |
| Preparation of NeoR Murine Embryonic Fibroblasts Protocol - http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/TheBroons/tnp7.htm Protocol for the preparation of NeoR murine embryonic fibroblast. - [Read Preparation of NeoR Murine Embryonic Fibroblasts 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 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] |
| Preparing Feeder Cell Layers from STO or Mouse Embryo Fibroblast (MEF) Cells: Treatment with Mitomyc - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/16/pdb.prot4399 This protocol describes the preparation of feeder cell layers from MEF cells or from the STO mouse fibroblast cell line. The cells are rendered mitotically inactive by treatment with mitomycin C. 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: Treatment with Mitomyc] |
| Preparing Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/16/pdb.prot4398 This protocol describes the preparation of mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), which can then be used as feeder cells to maintain embryonic stem (ES) cells in the undifferentiated state. - [Read Preparing Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts Protocol] |
| Propagation of Pluripotent Mouse Embryonic Stem (ES) Cells Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4484 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] |
