CGR8 cell line小鼠胚胎干細(xì)胞

Cell Line Name: CGR8

Cell Line Description: The germ-line competent cell line CGR8 was established from the inner cell mass of a 3.5 day male pre-implantation mouse embryo (Mus musculus, strain 129). These pluripotent cells retain the ability to participate in normal embryonic development. Differentiation of CGR8 cells is inhibited by the pleiotropic cytokine Differentiation Inhibiting Activity (DIA) which is identical to Leukaemia Inhibiting Factor (LIF). Addition of DIA/LIF is essential and allows culture of CGR8 without the use of feeder layers. Cells are small and tightly packed.
Species: Mouse
Tissue of Origin: Embryo
Growth Mode: Adherent
Karyotype: 40XY

Subculture Routine: Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:10 i.e. seeding at 4x1000 cells/cm2 using 0.05% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. CGR8 cells should be cultured on gelatin - coated flasks. Flasks should be coated using 0.2% gelatin in PBS. ECACC introduced the use of a feeder layer of mitomycin C treated primary mouse embryonic fibroblast (PMEF) cells for the bulk culture of CGR8. This means the ampoules that we provide contain the PMEF feeder cells as well as the CGR8 cells. When the cells are initially resuscitated and plated out from the ampoule both the CGR8 stem cell colonies and the fibroblast feeder cells will be visible in the culture. Feeder layers are not essential and the use of LIF at the correct concentration (with daily media changes) should be sufficient to maintain the pluripotency of the cells in end user laboratories.
Culture Medium: GMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 0.05mM 2-Mercaptoethanol (2ME) + 1000 units/ml DIA/LIF + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Media change daily.
