The invention is in the area of pleuripotent stem cells generated from adipose tissue-derived stromal cells and uses thereof. In particular, the invention includes isolated adipose tissue derived stromal cells that have been induced to express at least one phenotypic characteristic of a neuronal, astroglial, hematopoietic progenitor, or hepatic cell. The invention also includes an isolated adipocyte tissue-derived stromal cell that has been dedifferentiated such that there is an absence of adipocyte phenotypic markers.

A tissue culture substrate for culturing mammalian stem cell tissue includes one or more specific fish plasma fractions, isolated from any plasma remainder, in a nutrient medium. The plasma fractions are extracted from plasma obtained from the blood of one or more fish that are progeny of domesticated broodstock reared under consistent and reproducible conditions.

The invention includes mammalian multipotent neural stem cells and their progeny and methods for the isolation and clonal propagation of such cells. At the clonal level the stem cells are capable of self regeneration and asymmetrical division. Lineage restriction is demonstrated within developing clones which are sensitive to the local environment. The invention also includes such cells which are transfected with foreign nucleic acid, e.g., to produce an immortalized neural stem cell, and immortalized cell lines which are capable of subsequent disimmortalization. The invention further includes transplantation assays which allow for the identification of mammalian multipotent neural stem cells from various tissues and methods for transplanting mammalian neural stem cells and/or neural or glial progenitors into mammals. A novel method for detecting antibodies to neural cell surface markers is disclosed as well as a monoclonal antibody to mouse LNGFR.
摘要:
The invention includes methods for the isolation and clonal propagation of mammalian neural stem cells. The methods employ a novel separation and culturing regimen and bioassays for establishing the generation of neural stem cell derivatives. These methods result in the production of non-transformed neural stem cells and their progeny. The invention demonstrates, at the clonal level, the self regeneration and asymmetrical division of mammalian neural stem cells for the first time in feeder cell-independent cultures. Lineage restriction is demonstrated within a developing clone and is shown to be sensitive to the local environment. Multipotent neural stem cells cultured on a mixed substrate of poly-D-lysine and fibronectin generate PNS neurons and glia, but on fibronectin alone the stem cells generate PNS glia but not neurons. The neurogenic potential of the stem cells, while not expressed, is maintained over time on fibronectin. The invention further includes transplantation assays which allow for the identification of mammalian neural stem cells from various tissues. It also includes methods for transplanting mammalian neural stem cells and/or neural or glial progenitors into mammals.

摘要:
A method for culturing insect cells using fish serum. The method uses serum extracted from the blood of fish to culture insect cells for various purposes. The technique has the key advantages of consistent quality, low cross reactivity, safety from infectious agents that would endanger researchers or humans and animals receiving cell culture products as therapy and has appropriate nutrients to maintain the growth of insect cells. Fish serum is used together with designated defined medium to allow insect cells to grow and populations to be maintained. The method may also be used with lumpfish to prevent the attachment of insect cells to cultureware. Serum is derived from the blood of captive stocks of fishes raised under control conditions.
