Description:
ESGRO®-2i Supplement Kit (1000x)
Trade Name:
Chemicon (Millipore)
Qty/Pk:
1 kit per 500 mL medium
Background Information:
Mouse Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is a critical component in mouse ES cell culture media where it promotes the self-renewal and maintains the pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Recent studies have determined that inhibitors that block MAPK/Erk pathway, in combination with the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor, protect mouse ES cells from differentiation-inducing signals, allowing for self-renewal even in the absence of LIF. Mouse ES cells cultured in these conditions maintain their LIF responsiveness and studies have shown that adding LIF to the 2i culture conditions led better colony propagation and enhanced the general health of ES colonies.
