For our experiment, we needed to derive Glioma stem cells from a U87 cell line. This product was added as part of the culture for the GBM-Cancer stem cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

To derive & culture glioblastoma cancer stem cells from a glioblastoma cell line.

Starting Material

U87 cell line.

Protocol Overview

For 10ml- DMEM/F12 -9ml,540ul, N2 supplement(100x)-0.1ml, B27 supplement-(50x)-0.2ml, bFGF(10UG/ml)-20ul(final 20ng/ml), EGF(10UG/ml)- 20ul(final 20ng/ml), penstrep solution-0.1ml(1x), 250mg/ml BSA stock solution-20ul (final conc 0.5mg/ml). Filter it with a syringe filter.

Tips

Make the required amount of media, do not freeze thaw the bFGF.

Results Summary

The glioma cancer stem cells were derived from u87, confirmed with the relevant marker (CD133) in western blot.
