This patent was used to argue that the WARF patents were anticipated. The patent has two independent claims. The first covering a method of isolating embryonic stem cells, and the second covering a method of maintaining embryonic stem cells. Both independent claims use leukemia inhibitory factor to allow for the ex vivo growth of stem cells without loss of pluripotency.
