Derivation and characterization of the NIH registry human stem cell line NYSCF101 under defined feeder-free conditions

Abstract

The human embryonic stem cell line NYSCFe002-A was derived from a day 6 blastocyst in feeder-free and antibiotic free conditions. The blastocyst was voluntarily donated for research as surplus after in vitro fertilization treatment following informed consent. The NYSCFe002-A line expresses all the pluripotency markers and has the potential to differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro. The line presents normal karyotype and is mycoplasma free. This line is registered as NYSCF101 on the NIH Registry.
