Product Description

Lifeline^® Normal Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Adult (HMSC-Ad) provide an ideal culture model for the study of adult stem cell biology and differentiation processes.

HMSC-Ad are derived from adipose tissue and isolated from adult lipoaspirate.  The cells have been plated and expanded in culture vessels twice before being harvested for cryopreservation to ensure optimal phenotype and the highest viability and plating efficiency.  

Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells can be expanded in an undifferentiated state for future differentiation to multiple lineages.

• Lifeline Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Adult may be differentiated down the typical mesenchymal lineages, such as adipogenic, chondrogenic and osteogenic.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Adult are quality tested via flow cytometry to ensure the proper expression of multiple markers of mesenchymal stem cells. They are uniformly positive for CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, and CD166. They are uniformly negative for CD14, CD31, CD34, and CD45.

Lifeline has been a leader in crafting optimized media to expand Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell products in the undifferentiated state, as well as optimized media kits for inducing Adipogenesis, Chondrogenesis, and Osteogenesis. Additionally, Lifeline provides convenient staining kits for staining the fully differentiated cells.

  1,000,000 cells per vial

Mesenchymal Stem Cells -Adult are quality tested for:

• Morphology:  Normal morphology for 3 passages
• Cell Viability:  Minimum 70% viability when thawed from cryopreservation
• Sterility Testing:  Negative for mycoplasma.  Negative for bacterial and fungal growth
• Virus Testing: Negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV, and HCV by PCR
• Specific Staining: Positive^* for CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, CD166.
  Negative^* for CD14, CD31, CD34, CD45.

^*Lifeline defines positive expression as when greater than 95% of the cell population expresses that cell marker.

^*Lifeline defines negative expression as when less than 2% of the cell population expresses that cell marker.
