CHICKEN SERUM-FREE MEDIUM FOR PROMOTING PROLIFERATION OF CHICKEN PRIMORDIAL GERM CELLS (PGCs) AND USE OF CHICKEN SERUM-FREE MEDIUM

Abstract

A chicken serum-free medium for promoting proliferation of chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) and a use of the chicken serum-free medium are provided. In the chicken serum-free medium, ovotransferrin is used instead of chicken serum. The ovotransferrin is used instead of chicken serum in a PGC culture system, and ovotransferrin can keep the self-renewing of PGCs to provide a basis for exploring a stable culture system. The chicken serum-free medium can avoid the adverse effects caused by an unclear composition of chicken serum. In addition, the accurate use of various growth factors can provide excellent culture conditions and reduce the culture cost.
