Rabbits limbal stem cells（LSCs） were co-cultured on h UCMSCs, h UVECs, h DPSCs, h PDLSCs and NIH-3T3, and then comparative analysis were made between each group to see their respective colony-forming efficiency（CFE） assay and immunofluorescence（IPO13,CK3/12）.RESULTS： The efficiency of the four type cells in supporting the LSCs morphology and its cellular differentiation was similar to that of NIH-3T3 fibroblasts as demonstrated by the immunostaining properties analysis, with each group exhibiting a similar strong expression pattern of IPO13, but lacking CK3 and CK12 expression in terms of immunostaining. But h UCMSCs, h DPSCs and h PDLSCs feeder layers were superior in promoting colony formation potential of cells when compared to h UVECs and feedercell-free culture.CONCLUSION： hUCMSCs, hDPSCs and hPDLSCs can be a suitable alternative to conventional mouse NIH-3T3 feeder cells, so that risk of zoonotic infection can be diminished.展开更多

We success-fully use human fibroblasts derived from aborted fetus and adult prepuce as feeder layer to maintain human embryonic stem cells growth. During the passage and growth on this feeder layer, the human embryonic stem cells can keep their undifferentiated state.展开更多

The isolated blastoderm cells from the stage X embryos of chicken were cultured in Dulercco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF, 1 000 IU/ml), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF 10 ng/ml) and stem cell factor (SCF, 5 ng/ml). The alkaline phosphatase (AKP) test, differentiation experiment in vitro and chimeric chicken production were carried out. The resuts showed that culture on feeder layer of PMEF yielded high quality CES cell colonies. The shape of typical CES clone showed as follows: nested aggregation (clone) with clear edge and round surface as well as close arrangement within the clone. Strong positive AKP reactive cells were observed. On the other hand, the fourth passage CES cells could differentiate into various cells in the absence of feeder layer cells and LIF in vitro . The third and fourth passage cells were injected into the subgerminal cavity of recipient embryos at stage X. The manipulated embryos were incubated until hatching. Of 269 Hailan embryos injected with CES cells of Shouguang Chickens, 8 2% (22/269) survived to hatching, 3 feather chimeras had been produced, which suggests that an effective culture systems were established and it could promote the growth of CES cells and maintain them in an undifferentiated state .展开更多
