STEMCELL Technologies EpiCult EpiCult-B Medium Kit (Human)
- 研究用
EpiCult™-B Human Medium Kit(ST-05601)は、ヒトの乳腺管腔細胞および筋上皮細胞の培養に最適化された無血清培地です。
NIH 3T3細胞などの照射済みフィーダー層と併用し、乳腺コロニー形成ユニット(CFU)アッセイで二能性、管腔制限性および筋上皮制限性の乳腺上皮前駆細胞を増殖、評価するのに最適です。
Hydrocortisone Stock Solution(ST-07925)の添加が必要です。

Phase contrast photographs of (A) a pure human myoepithelial cell colony, (B) a pure human luminal cell colony, and (C) a mixed human colony. (D) is a mouse colony. Unlike human mammary CFC colonies, subtypes of mouse mammary epithelial cell colonies are not easily identifiable. All colonies were cultured in either EpiCult™-B (Human: Catalog #05601) or EpiCult™-B (Mouse:Catalog #5610) in the presence of an irradiated NIH 3T3 feeder layer. Colonies were visualized by staining with Wright"s Giemsa. (E) is a picture of mammospheres obtained from primary human mammary epithelial cells and (F) is an image of tumorspheres obtained from MCF7 human breast cancer cell line.
