Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Cell culture media formulations for culturing human epithelial cells are herein described. Also described are methods of increasing population doublings in a cell culture of finite life span human epithelial cells and prolonging the life span of human cell cultures. Using the cell culture media disclosed alone and in combination with addition to the cell culture of a compound associated with anti-stress activity achieves extended growth of pre-stasis cells and increased population doublings and life span in human epithelial cell cultures.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of increasing pre-stasis population doublings in a cell culture of human epithelial cells with finite life span, comprising the steps of: a) providing a cell culture medium comprising a mixture of i) MM medium with serum and ii) a different, serum-free medium, with defined ingredients for growth of human mammary epithelial cells, wherein MM medium and the serum-free medium are optimized for a human mammary epithelial cell, and wherein the mixture…
