Application
Human AB serum is used in tissue engineering, transplantation and cell therapy applications for the expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) from adipose tissue or mesenchymal stromal cells from human bone marrow; for standardized limbal epithelial stem cell graft generation and transplantation; for ex vivo expansion of NK cells from peripheral blood in Hematopoeitic Stem Cell Expansion Medium; and for upgrading pretransplant human islet culture technology.
Human Serum has been used: as a component of phosphate-buffered saline with Tween® detergent (PBST) in bridging enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as a mock biological sample for assessing the performance of paper-based ELISA assay with complex biological samples, as a diluent to create a dilution series of the baseline sample for the generation of standard curve for NISTmAb spiked into serum, as well as for multiple myeloma (MM) patient sample MM2232
Biochem/physiol Actions
Human AB serum is typically obtained by allowing whole blood to clot naturally, which is known as Off-The-Clot (OTC) serum. Human serum obtained from clotted whole blood is preferred as it usually contains higher levels and a more diverse range of growth factors for optimal cell growth. Human serum from blood-type AB donors lacks antibodies specific for both A and B blood-type antigens. This makes it a universal donor serum that is suitable for various cell culture types including human stem cell lines.
Packaging
Packaging may vary for different batches due to short supply of the bottles used to pack this product. The presence or lack of shrink wrap around the cap of the bottle doesn’t impact product integrity/sterility of the product.
Warning
Each donor is tested for and found non-reactive for Hepatitis B & C and non-reactive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody by ELISA. Nevertheless, products of human origin should be considered potentially infectious and handled accordingly.
Analysis Note
Endotoxin tested
Other Notes
It is not unusual for our human serum products to be cloudy. This product is from pooled serum and cloudiness indicates that lipids are present in the serum. No clear, lipid-free human serum products are available.

Il prodotto è stato testato per negatività a HSV?
1 answer-
Each donor is tested for and found non-reactive to Hepatitis B & C and non-reactive to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody by ELISA. HSV is not on the list of agents that are tested. Nevertheless, products of human origin should be considered potentially infectious and handled accordingly.

If this is "serum" derived from "plasma" the plasma would have contained anti-coagulant. To turn the plasma into serum it has to be clotted. Has this product been clotted to remove the fibrin? Or is it still in fact plasma?
1 answer-
The product has been clotted. Blood is collected and treated with citrate (anticoagulant) which inhibits clotting initially. The blood is then centrifuged. When the spin is complete, layers will appear which allow a differentiation between the cells and the plasma. The plasma is removed and calcium is added to activate the clotting cascade. The preparation is then centrifuged again and the result is a large clot which is pelleted to the bottom of the tube with a serum layer on top.

Which human serum is recommend for a nucleic acid stability assay, specifically for incubating siRNA in serum to represent bloodstream kinetics?
1 answer-
The use of human serum for a nucleic acid stability assay has not been performed as it is not part of our lab's product characterization focus. However, the citation titled "Improving gene silencing of siRNAs via tricyclo-DNA modification, PMID: 21687522" suggest that product H4522 may be suitable for this application. It is recommended to refer to the publication for additional insights.

Are Human Serum products H4522 and H6914 suitable for complement assays? Is there testing available for complement levels or activity?
1 answer-
Human Serum products H4522 and H6914 may not be suitable for complement assays when stored at -20°C due to potential degradation of complement activity. For complement assays, alternatives like S1764 (Complement sera human) and C9473 (Complement Serum Standard human) are recommended. It is advised to review the Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) for these products to ensure they meet the specific requirements of your complement assay

What Biosafety Level would be suitable for human serum such as H4522, H5667, and H6914?
1 answer-
Human origin products from normal donors should be used at Biosafety Level 2 (BSL-2), which is suitable for handling moderate-risk agents causing human disease. Thus, treat these products as potentially infectious and handle accordingly.

what does this do
1 answer-
Human AB serum is added as a supplement to culture media at a concentration of 2-10% to provide a mixture of nutritional, hormonal, growth, and attachment factors. The serum also acts as a buffer to the cell culture system against a variety of disruptions to cell growth and toxic effects such as pH change, proteolytic activity, or the presence of heavy metals or endotoxin.

Is product H4522 obtained using Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved consent forms and protocols?
1 answer-
According to the supplier:
Each donor unit used in the preparation of this material was tested and found negative for HBsAG, HBV-NAT, HIV-1/2, HCV, HCV-NAT, HIV-1 NAT, and Syphilis per FDA regulations. The human plasma was collected from male donors' blood type AB in FDA licensed commercial donor establishments located in the USA in accordance with ethical standards. Each donor signed an informed consent form prior to collection, which is traceable by the unique identifiable number to maintain anonymity. A quality assurance system is in place to ensure traceability to individual donor. Documentation to this effect is available upon request.Helpful?

Could you please confirm if the serum contains normal levels of human complement components?
1 answer-
This product has not been treated to remove or inactivate complement components, however no testing has been performed to confirm these levels. It is a pooled product derived from 50 - 70 donors per lot. Any active complement be expected to meet 'normal levels.
Should complement testing be a requirement, please see product S1764. This is a lyophilized human serum product tested for CH50 activity. See the links below to review a sample Certificate of Analysis and the product datasheet:
