Amniotic fluid stem cells (Medical University of Vienna)

These human amniotic fluid cell samples were obtained from amniocenteses, all performed between week 17 and week 22 of pregnancy. Cells were cultured in F-10 nutrient mixture (Ham’s medium) containing ultroser-G (2.5%), FBS (10%), L-glutamine (2.5 mmol/l) and gentamicin (50 mg/l). All differentiation steps of amniotic fluid cells are performed via growth on fibronectin.
