Compositions and processes for culturing human stem cells in vitro in an undifferentiated state are disclosed. In this regard, human embryonic stem cells proliferated and maintained their pluripotency when cultured on plates coated with recombinant laminin-10 (laminin-511).

Composition and method for enabling proliferation of pluripotent human stem cells

The present disclosure related to isolated laminin-521, methods for making recombinant laminin-521, host cells that express recombinant laminin-521, and compositions containing laminin-521. Laminin-521 can maintain stem cells in vitro pluripotency, enable self-renewal, and enable single cell survival of human embryonic stem cells. When pluripotent human embryonic stem cells are cultured on plates coated with recombinant laminin-521 (laminin-11), in the absence of differentiation inhibitors or feeder cells, the embryonic stem cells proliferate and maintain their pluripotency. It has also been discovered that human recombinant laminin-521 (laminin-11) provides single cell survival of stem cells after complete dissociation into a single cell suspension. Useful cell culture mediums containing at most 3.9 ng/ml of beta fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) are also described herein.

Cell culture medium

The present disclosure provides isolated laminin-421, methods for making recombinant laminin-421, and host cells that express recombinant laminin-421. The present disclosure also provides nucleic acid sequences encoding full length human laminin &#x3b2;2 chain, expression vectors and host cells thereof.

Isolated laminin-421

The present disclosure is directed to the development of compositions, such as extracellular matrices, and processes for using the same, that both maintain stem cells in vitro pluripotency and enable self-renewal. In this regard, it has been discovered that when pluripotent mouse and human embryonic stem cells are cultured on plates coated with recombinant laminin-10 (laminin-511) or their functional domains, in the absence of differentiation inhibitors or feeder cells, the embryonic stem cells proliferated and maintained their pluripotency.

Laminin-521 can maintain stem cells in vitro pluripotency, enable self-renewal, and enable single cell survival of human embryonic stem cells. When pluripotent human embryonic stem cells are cultured on plates coated with a matrix of recombinant laminin-521 (laminin 11), in the absence of differentiation inhibitors or feeder cells, the embryonic stem cells proliferate and maintain their pluripotency. It has also been discovered that human recombinant laminin-521 (laminin-11) provides single cell survival of stem cells after complete dissociation into a single cell suspension.
