ØIs not restricted to use with Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Media (IMDM)
ØSupports reproducible in vitrogrowth of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells
ØCan be supplemented with user-defined cytokines and growth factors
ØExcellent optical clarity facilitates colony identification
ØHigh lot-to-lot consistency decreases variation
Why Make Methylcellulose Media from a Concentrated Stock Solution Rather than a Powder?
Although Methylcellulose is soluble at low temperatures, adding powdered methylcellulose to cold water results in clumping of the methylcellulose rather than its dissolution.
Using hot water to dissolve methylcellulose is also not an option since methylcellulose is insoluble in hot water. Therefore, methylcellulose stock solutions are made by adding methylcellulose to hot water (~80 °C) and then decreasing the temperature of the solution until the methylcellulose is fully dissolved. To avoid this time consuming and potentially inconsistent process, R&D Systems offers high quality StemXVivo™ Methylcellulose Concentrate with superior optical clarity to support optimal colony growth, enumeration, and identification.
R&D Systems Human Methylcellulose Serum-Free Base Media:
ØOptical clarity facilitates colony identification.
ØHigh lot-to-lot consistency decreases variation.
ØSupports reproducible in vitrogrowth of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.
ØCan be supplemented with user-defined cytokines and growth factors.
ØIncreased cloning efficiency and improved colony growth compared to agar.
Components
Ø50 mL of 2.8% Methylcellulose (1500 cps) in water.
Storage
The Methylcellulose Concentrate should be stored at =-20 °C upon receipt. Storage at 2 °C to 8 °C is not recommended.
Precaution
The acute and chronic effects of overexposure to this media are unknown. Safe laboratory procedures should be followed and protective clothing should be worn when handling this media.
Limitations of the Procedure
ØThe safety and efficacy of this product in diagnostic or other clinical uses has not been established.
ØThe reagent should not be used beyond the expiration date indicated on the label.
ØResults may vary due to variations between hematopoietic progenitors derived from different individuals.
Data Examples
Human Hematopoietic Colony Formation Using the Methylcellulose-based Colony Forming Cell Assay. A. Colony forming unit-erythroid (CFU-E) are clonogenic progenitors that produce only one or two clusters with each cluster containing from 8 to approximately 100 hemoglobinized erythroblasts. It represents the more mature erythroid progenitors that have less proliferative capacity. B. Colony forming unit-granulocyte (CFU-G) are clonogenic progenitors of granulocytes that give rise to a homogeneous population of eosinophils, basophils, or neutrophils. C. Colony forming unit-granulocyte, macrophage (CFU-GM) are progenitors that give rise to colonies containing a heterogeneous population of macrophages and granulocytes. The morphology is similar to the CFU-M and CFU-G descriptions. D. Burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) colonies can be described as small (3 to 8 clusters), intermediate (9 to 16 clusters), or large (more than 16 clusters) according to the number of clusters present. These are primitive erythroid progenitors that have high proliferative capacity. E. Colony forming unit-macrophage (CFU-M) are clonogenic progenitors of macrophages that give rise to a homogenous population of macrophages. F. Colony forming unit-granulocyte, erythrocyte, macrophage, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) are multi-lineage progenitors that give rise to erythroid, granulocyte, macrophage and megakaryocyte lineages, as the name indicates.
Mouse Hematopoietic Colony Formation Using the Methylcellulose-based Colony Forming Cell Assay. A.Burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) colonies are defined as clusters with a minimal of 30 cells that can be seen from day 7 onward. Each individual cluster consisted of tiny, irregular shaped cells that may appear fused together. Each cluster normally contains 5 - 8 cells, and the size of the cluster is similar to that of a single macrophage. The cluster may vary in sizes and color. A large BFU-E is usually bright red and is differentiable even without the use of a microscope. Smaller BFU-E may not appear red in color but is distinguishable based on the morphology. B.Colony forming unit-macrophage (CFU-M; left) are clonogenic progenitors of macrophages that give rise to a homogenous population of macrophages. Colony forming unit-granulocyte (CFU-G; right) are clonogenic progenitors of granulocytes that give rise to a homogeneous population of eosinophils, basophils, or neutrophils. C. Colony forming unit-granulocyte, macrophage (CFU-GM) are progenitors that give rise to colonies containing a heterogeneous population of macrophages and granulocytes. The morphology is similar to the CFU-M and CFU-G descriptions.D.Colony forming unit-granulocyte, erythrocyte, macrophage, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) are multi-lineage progenitors that give rise to the lineage of erythroid, granulocytes, macrophages, and megakaryocytes as the name indicates. It can be identified as reddish colored cells (erythroid) mixed with colorless cells (granulocytes, macrophages, and megakaryocytes) in a single colony. This progenitor is typically the largest colony on the culture dish; occasionally CFU-GM may attain a size comparable or larger than that of CFU-GEMM.
