Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a culture method of cells and/or tissues including culturing cells and/or tissues in a suspended state by using a medium composition wherein indeterminate structures are formed in a liquid medium, the structures are uniformly dispersed in the solution and substantially retain the cells and/or tissues without substantially increasing the viscosity of the solution, thus affording an effect of preventing sedimentation thereof, and the like.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition comprising (a) a culture medium, (b) deacylated gellan gum or a salt thereof, and (c) adherent cells, wherein the adherent cells are pluripotent stem cells in the form of spheres, wherein the deacylated gellan gum or salt thereof is present at a concentration which allows the spheres to be cultured in suspension standing culture, and wherein the composition has a viscosity of not more than 8 mPa-s at 37° C. 2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the composition has a concentration of the deacylated gellan gum or a salt thereof of 0.01-0.05% (weight/volume). 3. The composition according to claim 1 , which further comprises a polysaccharide other than deacylated gellan gum or a salt thereof. 4. The composition according to claim 1 , which comprises a metal ion. 5. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the metal ion is a calcium ion. 6. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein deacylated gellan gum or a salt thereof is assembled or forms a three-dimensional network via the metal ion. 7. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the pluripotent stem cells are proliferating pluripotent stem cells.
