Abstract
Provided are methods for generating mast cells from pluripotent stem cells in vitro. Methods are disclosed for the differentiation of pluripotent cells, such as iPS cells and/or human embryonic stem cells, into mast cells. The resulting mast cells may be used for various purposes including screening cells for drug development and research. Growth factors which may be included in culture media according to the present invention include stem cell factor (SCF), FLT-3 ligand, thrombopoietin (TPO), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and/or interleukin-6 (IL-6).
