Cell Line Description
A mouse embryonic stem cell (ES) line (Nd) containing a novel fluorescent reporter (VNP) to investigate the temporal dynamics of Nanog expression in mouse and to dissect the lineage potential at different Nanog expression levels. This novel reporter ES cell line allows the accurate monitoring the dynamic expression of the transcription factor Nanog in the pluripotent state. The cell line will be a valuable tool to obtain quantitative measurements of global gene expression in pluripotent mouse ES cells in different states, allowing a detailed molecular mapping of the pluripotent state.

Subculture Routine
Cultures must be incubated in a humidified 10% CO₂/95% air incubator at 37°C. Subculture with 0.05% Trypsin/EDTA and inoculate new cultures at 3 x 10⁴ per cm².
Culture Medium
Culture cells in Glasgow Modified Eagles Medium with 10% FCS + 2mM L-glutamine, 2ng/ml Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) and 1mM 2-mercaptoethanol on gelatin-coated (0.1%) cell culture plastic.Alternatively, ES cells can be cultured in 2i medium (iStem medium, Stem Cells, Inc) supplemented with 2ng/ml LIF and inhibitors of the ERK pathway and of GSK3β (Ying QL et.al 2008)

Further Information
The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.
Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
