Recommendation: Read the ATCC Stem Cell Culture Guide before initiating your cultures.
ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.
Cells contain Sendai virus (SeV) DNA sequences
ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.
ATCC-BYS0111 Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) were derived from bone marrow CD34+ cells obtained from a healthy Hispanic male donor.
ATCC iPSCs have been adapted to feeder- and serum-free culture conditions.
The base medium for this cell line is Pluripotent Stem Cell SFM XF/FF (ATCC ACS-3002) which is a ready-to-use medium for serum-free and feeder-free iPSC culture.
To insure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate the culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If, upon arrival, continued storage of the frozen culture is necessary, it should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at –80°C. Storage at –80°C will result in loss of viability.
Preparation for Culture
Note: Addition of ROCK inhibitor has been shown to increase the survival rate during subcultivation and thawing of human iPSCs. The use of ROCK inhibitor may cause a transient spindle-like morphology effect on the cells. However, the colony morphology will recover after subsequent media change without ROCK inhibitor.
Protocol for Coating Plates
Important: Cell Basement Membrane Gel will solidify in 15 to 30 minutes above 15° C. Keep Cell Basement Membrane Gel and labware on ice at all times to prevent the matrix from gelling prematurely. Calculate the appropriate Cell Basement Membrane volume per plate based on concentration and usage. The concentration of Cell Basement Membrane is found on the product label.
Example: 2 mL of Cell Basement Membrane Gel at 150 µg/mL is required to coat one 6 cm dish. To coat two 6 cm dishes, prepare as follows:
Dilute Cell Basement Membrane in DMEM:F12 at a working concentration of 150 µg/mL:
Protein concentration of Cell Basement Membrane (on product label): 14 mg/mL.
(4 mL)(0.15 mg/mL) = 0.043 mL
(14 mg/mL)
Add 43 µL Cell Basement Membrane Gel directly into 4 mL DMEM: F12
Leave the coated dishes at 37°C for one hour. The plates are now ready for use.
Initiation of Cultures
Cell culture dishes are coated with Cell Basement Membrane Gel (ATCC ACS-3035) to provide a surface for the attachment of iPSCs.
Coating Procedure:
ROCK Inhibitor Y27632 is not necessary each time the culture medium is changed. It is required when cells are recovering from thaw on Cell Basement Membrane Gel-coated dishes containing 5 mL Pluripotent Stem Cell XF/FF medium/6-cm dish.
This protocol is designed to passage stem cell colonies cultured in a 6 cm dish, using Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent (ATCC ACS-3010) to detach the cell colonies. The recommended spilt ratio is 1:4. Volumes should be adjusted according to the size and number of the tissue culture vessels to be processed.
Reconstitution of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent:
Lyophilized proteins tend to be hygroscopic. Bring the vial of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent to room temperature before opening. The vial should not be cool to the touch. Once opened, the lyophilized material should be stored desiccated. The specific activity of the reagent is found on the certificate of analysis. Dissolve the appropriate amount of Stem Cell Dissociation Reagent in DMEM: F-12 Medium to prepare a 0.5 U/mL working solution.
Note: Addition of ROCK inhibitor has been shown to increase the survival rate. The use of ROCK inhibitor may cause a transient spindle-like morphology effect on the cells. However, the colony morphology will recover after subsequent media change without ROCK inhibitor.
Cell culture dishes are coated with Cell Basement Membrane Gel (ATCC ACS-3035) to provide a surface for the attachment of iPSCs.
Coating Procedure:
Post thaw day 1, perform a 100% medium change and remove all cells that did not attach. Perform a 100% medium change every day. Passage the cells every 4 to 5 days (80% confluent) at an appropriate split ratio (a 1:4 split ratio is recommended). If the colonies are close to, or touching each other, the culture is overgrown. Overgrowth will result in differentiation.
