Inner Cell Mass, Early Embryo

This cell line can be cultured using feeder cells or in a feeder-free protocol. When using feeder cells, human ESC culture medium should be compreised of Advanced DMEM/F12 supplemented with knockout serum replacement (20%), non-essential amino acids (1x), L-glutamine (1x), penicillin/streptomycin (1x), β-mercaptoethanol (1x) and FGF-2 (4 ng/ml). Maintain the human ESCs on Matrigel using hESC medium conditioned by mouse embryonic fibroblasts.
