Medium for long-term proliferation and development of cells

Patent Number: 5405772

This patent is for a tissue culture media that is capable of expanding, as well as allowing differentiation of various cell types in vitro, including hematopoietic stem cells. The media is different than other approaches since it comprises several growth factors, as well as extracellular matrix components. Importantly the media does not use serum, this is applicable for clinical ex vivo expansion experiments.
