Methods, including culture media conditions, which provide for ex vivo human stem cell division and/or the optimization of human hematopoietic progenitor cell cultures and/or increasing the metabolism or GM-CSF secretion or IL-6 secretion of human stromal cells are disclosed. The methods rely on culturing human stem cells and/or human hematopoietic progenitor cells and/or human stromal cells in a liquid culture medium which is replaced, preferably perfused, either continuously or periodically, at a rate of 1 ml of medium per ml of culture per about 24 to about 48 hour period, and removing metabolic products and replenishing depleted nutrients while maintaining the culture under physiologically acceptable conditions. Optionally growth factors are added to the culture medium.
A method for obtaining ex vivo human stem cell division comprising culturing a human hematopoietic stem cell composition in a liquid culture medium which is replaced at a rate of at least 50% daily replacement, while maintaining said culture under physiologically acceptable conditions.
A method for obtaining ex vivo human stem cell division comprising culturing a human hematopoietic stem cell composition in a liquid culture medium which is replaced at a rate which is substantially continuous and provides ex vivo human stem cell division therein.
A method for obtaining ex vivo human stem cell division comprising culturing a human hematopoietic stem cell composition in a liquid culture medium which is replaced at a rate related to the cell density of said culture, said rate being equal to a rate of 50 to 100% daily replacement for a cell density of from 1.times.10.sup.4 to 1.times.10.sup.7 cells per ml of culture.
