Abstract : [ABSTRACT] Murine embryonic stem cells have the potential to generate all differentiated cell types in vitro. However, the guidance of ES cell differentiation is poorly understood. We previously developed a chemically defined serum-free medium, designated ESF7, in which leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) clearly stimulated murine ES cell proliferation without feeder cells. In this culture medium, addition of FGF-2 in ESF 7 medium without LIF promoted ES cell differentiation into neuronal like cells. These populations of cells were immunoreactive with antibodies to nestin, β-tubulin III, A2B5 antigen, and GFAP. This simple serum-free adherent monoculture system will allow the elucidation of ES cell diffrerentiation process into neuroectodermal cells.
