Media for cell culture
The present disclosure relates, in general, to a media, e.g., a serum replacement, media supplement, complete media or cryopreservation media, comprising a base physiological buffer and liposomes comprising cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine and fatty acids. It is contemplated that media provides advantages to improve cell growth in culture compared to cells cultured not using the serum replacement described herein.
1. A medium for use with cells in suspension or in adherent culture, the medium comprising a base physiological buffer liquid mix and liposomes comprising cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine, and fatty acids, wherein the liposome is in an amount such that the final concentration of cholesterol in the liposome is from 10 to 200 mg/L, and wherein the final concentration of phosphatidylcholine in the liposome is from 50 mg/L to 1 g/L.
2. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the liposome comprises one or more fatty acids selected from the group consisting of linolenic acid, linoleic acid, myristic acid and oleic acid.
3. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the liposome further comprises ethanol amine and polysorbate.
4. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the base physiological buffer liquid mix comprises one or more supplement selected from the group consisting of an organic salt, inorganic salt, buffer, iron source or iron transporter, glycerol, amino acid, vitamin, sugar, antioxidant and trace element.
5. The medium of claim 1 , wherein the medium is a serum replacement, complete medium, medium supplement, or cryopreservation medium.
6. The serum replacement, complete medium, medium supplement, or cryopreservation medium of claim 5 , wherein the liposome is a nanoparticle.
7. A method of culturing cells comprising culturing cells in a medium of claim 1 .
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the cell is selected from the group consisting of pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells, bone marrow stromal cells, hematopoietic progenitor cells, lymphoid stem cells, myeloid stein cells, T cells, B cells, macrophages, hepatic cells, pancreatic cells, carcinoma cells and cell lines.
