Abstract
A method of creating a protein rich conditioned medium. The method includes culturing mesenchymal stem cells in a container utilizing a first growth medium, allowing a time period for proliferation of the mesenchymal stem cells until a desired level of confluence is achieved in the container, discarding a supernatant from the container, adding a second medium to the container, incubating the mesenchymal stem cells, and collecting the conditioned medium. The method produces significantly higher quantities of byproducts secreted by the mesenchymal stem cells. Byproducts are usable for wound healing, disease treatment, cosmetic, or other beneficial effects when applied or otherwise delivered to a patient.
Claims9
A method of creating a protein rich conditioned medium comprising:
- a) culturing mesenchymal stem cells in a container utilizing a first growth medium,
- wherein the first growth medium comprises:
- i) a serum from about 1 percent to about 10 percent by volume;
- ii) fibroblast growth factor from about 1 ng/ml to about 10 ng/ml;
- iii) an L-cysteine or a glutathione or an N Acetyl Cysteine from about 0.5 mM to about 5 mM;
- and
- iv) a serum free medium up to 99 percent volume and:
- 1) an epidermal growth factor from about 1 ng/ml to about 10 ng/ml;
- 2) a hydrocortisone from about 10 ng/ml to about 100 ng/ml;
- 3) a calcium chloride from about 0.01 mM to about 0.1 mM;
- 4) an insulin from about 0.5 mg/ml to about 5 mg/ml;
- 5) a bovine pituitary extract from about 10 μg/ml to about 100 μg/ml;
- 6) a selenium from about 0.1 μg/ml to about 1 μg/ml;
- 7) a stromal-derived factor from about 1 ng/ml to about 10 ng/ml;
- 8) a sodium pyruvate from about 2 mg/ml to about 20 mg/ml;
- and
- 9) a transferrin from about from about 0.1 mg/ml to about 1 mg/ml;
- b) allowing a time period for proliferation of the mesenchymal stem cells until a desired level of confluence is achieved in the container;
- c) discarding a supernatant from the container;
- d) adding a second serum-free medium or a salt buffered solution to the container;
- e) incubating the mesenchymal stem cells and the second serum-free medium or the salt buffered solution for a desired period of time, thereby creating a conditioned medium;
- and
- f) collecting the conditioned medium;
- and
- wherein the mesenchymal stem cells can be incubated for up to seven days in the second medium without change in mesenchymal stem cell characteristics.
