General description

For use with adherent kidney cell lines such as baby hamster kidney cells (BHK).
Glasgow Minimum Essential Medium has been developed by modifying the Eagle′s BME medium. This medium can be used to study the genetic factors affecting cell competence.

Application

Glasgow Minimum Essential Medium has been used to culture:
  • Hoxb7- green fluorescence protein (GFP) mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line for the induction of ureteric bud differentiation
  • murine E14 Tg2a embryonic stem (mES) cells
  • transduced Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells for the expression and production of Siglec-1-Fc fusion proteins

Reconstitution

Supplement with 0.292 g/L L-glutamine and Tryptose phosphate broth solution (T 8159) at 100 ml/L of medium.

Cellular interactions between endothelial cells and macrophages regulate macrophage localization and phenotype, but the mechanisms underlying these interactions are poorly understood. Here we explored the role of sialoglycans on lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) in interactions with macrophage-expressed Siglec-1 (CD169). Lectin-binding

Differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to cardiomyocytes is influenced by culture conditions including the extracellular matrices or similar synthetic scaffolds on which they are grown. However, the molecular mechanisms that link the scaffold with differentiation outcomes are not fully known.

The Ezh2 gene encodes a histone methyltransferase of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 that methylates histone H3 lysine 27. In this work we asked whether EZH2 has a role in the development of the pharyngeal apparatus and whether it regulates

Expression of the transcription factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and cMYC (OSKM) reprograms somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Reprogramming is a slow and inefficient process, suggesting the presence of safeguarding mechanisms that counteract cell fate conversion. One such

Fluorescent reporters are useful for assaying gene expression in living cells and for identifying and isolating pure cell populations from heterogeneous cultures, including embryonic stem (ES) cells. Multiple fluorophores and genetic selection markers exist; however, a system for creating reporter
