Aggregation of ES Cells with Mouse Morula- Stage Embryos Protocol - http://fds.oup.com/www.oup.co.uk/pdf/pas/13-10-6.pdf

Protocol for the aggregation of ES cells with mouse morula-stage embryos. Includes: Preparation of aggregation walls; ES cell preparation; Embryo preparation and aggregation. - [Read Aggregation of ES Cells with Mouse Morula- Stage Embryos Protocol]

Culture of Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC) Protocol - http://stemcells.nih.gov/research/NIHresearch/scunit/culture.asp

Protocol for the culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESC). - [Read Culture of Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESC) Protocol]

Culturing Trophoblast Stem (TS) Cell Lines Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/18/pdb.prot4406

Culture conditions have been established for a second blastocyst-derived cell line, trophoblast stem (TS) cells, in addition to embryonic stem (ES) cells. This protocol describes a method for culturing TS cell lines. These cells can then be used to study trophoblast differentiation and placental function. - [Read Culturing Trophoblast Stem (TS) Cell Lines Protocol]

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

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]

ES / MEF Cell Culture and Electroporation of Targeting Construct Protocol - http://members.cox.net/microinjectionworkshop/technical/tnp5.html

Protocol for ES/MEF cell culture and electroporation of targeting construct. - [Read ES / MEF Cell Culture and Electroporation of Targeting Construct Protocol]

Expansion of Targeted ES Clones Protocol - http://escore.im.wustl.edu/htmldocs/xpandtes1.htm

Protocol for the expansion of targeted ES clones. - [Read Expansion of Targeted ES Clones Protocol]

Hematopoietic Colony Forming Cell Assays Protocol - http://www.fhcrc.org/science/labs/fero/Protocols/HematopoieticCFC.pdf

Human Embryonic Stem Cell Protocols - http://stemcells.nih.gov/staticresources/research/protocols/BresaGen_hESC_manual_2.1.pdf

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are pluripotent cells capable of differentiation to representatives of all three germ layers. Includes: Isolation of Primary Mouse Embryo Fibroblasts; Thawing and preparing p1 MEF feeder plates; Preparation of MEF- Conditioned Medium (MEF-CM; Microdissection Passaging of hESCs; Bulk passaging of hESC; Cryopreservation of hESCs; Thawing of hESCs; Karyotyping. - [Read Human Embryonic Stem Cell Protocols]

Neural Stem Cell Culture: Neurosphere Generation, Microscopical Analysis and Cryopreservation - http://www.natureprotocols.com/2006/08/25/neural_stem_cell_culture_neuro.php

Describes the steps in detail to isolate and expand neural stem cells in the form of neurospheres from tissue dissections of the post-natal mouse brain. Procedures for the long term passage of neurospheres and the cryopreservation of neurospheres are also provided. In addition to the guidelines and tips for generating neurosphere cultures, we describe the method to prepare neurospheres for analysis by light microscopy. - [Read Neural Stem Cell Culture: Neurosphere Generation, Microscopical Analysis and Cryopreservation]

Setting Up Microdrop Cultures Protocol - http://www.cshprotocols.org/cgi/content/extract/2006/1/pdb.prot4353

Protocol describes how to set up microdrop cultures to produce embryos which can then be used for making chimeras. The microdrop culture should be set up several hours to 1 day before the experiment to permit temperature and gas equilibration. - [Read Setting Up Microdrop Cultures Protocol]
