| Supporting cells, such as short-term cultures of fibroblasts, are used to cultivate human embryonic stem (ES) cells, however they are susceptible to senescence after a number of passages. The Mouse Embryonic Blasticidin and Zeocin-resistant (MMMbz) Immortalized Feeder Cells eliminates the problems associated with the use of primary cell lines. This cell line has a doubling time of 16 hours and may be used indefinitely to propagate human embryonic stem cells. It has the ability to facilitate the growth of hES H9 and hES H1. MMMbz cells are resistant to blasticidin and zeocin due to transgene expression allowing for selection of hES cells transfected with genes conferring resistance. |

| Grow cells in T25 ECM-coated flasks (G299) with the following conditions. The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM003. To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: Bovine Calf Serum (available from Hyclone, SH30072) to final concentration of 10% and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) to a final concentration of 1%. Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C. To freeze: suspend cells in PriGrow III (TM003) with 10% bovine calf serum and 10% sterile DMSO. To support the growth of hES cells: irradiate MMMbz cells with 6000 rads and seed at a density of 1.3x105/cm2 in propagation medium. The next day add hES in Knockout DMEM (Invitrogen), supplemented with 20% Knockout Serum Replacement (Invitrogen), 1mM L-glutamine (G275), 1% MEM non-essential amino acids (Invitrogen), 0.1mM 2-mercaptoethanol (CH045) and bFGF at 4 ng/ml (Z200015). |

2. Sale of this item is subjected to the completion of a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) by the purchasing individual/institution for each order. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact us at technical@abmgood.com. 3. All test parameters provided in the CoA are conducted using abm's standardized culture system and procedures. The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 ug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 ug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.
