Dendritic Cell Generation Medium
DC Generation Medium (Ready-to-use)
Our Dendritic Cell (DC) Generation Medium has been developed for the easy and efficient generation of immature as well as fully mature myeloid Dendritic Cells from peripheral blood monocytes. The DC Base Medium is a user-customizable versions of the DC Generation Media that does not include cytokines.
Our DC Generation Medium allows for the generation of DC from cryopreserved as well as freshly isolated cells. In the latter case, the Monocyte Attachment Medium is also needed.
Our DC Media consist of a bottle of Basal Medium and one vial of SupplementMix. Adding the SupplementMix to the Basal Medium results in the complete Medium. Indeed, all DC Media must be supplemented with additional cytokines. The cytokines are included with the DC Generation Media but not with the DC Base Media.
According to our experience; they can be maintained for 3 to a maximum of 7 days. However; the morphology will change and they will look more and more "degenerate".
Usually we do not recommend specific plasticware but we have found that with PromoCell’s Dendritic Cell and Macrophage Generation Media choice of plasticware can have a lot of an influence. For our Dendritic Cell Generation Media we recommend to use tissue culture vessels from BD FalconTM.
- DC Base Medium (C-28053) consists of 250 ml Basal Medium + SupplementMix. It does not include cytokines and must therefore be supplemented according to the user's individual needs.
- DC Generation Medium (C-28050) is ready-to-use and consists of 250 ml Basal Medium + SupplementMix + cytokines.
After addition of the SupplementMix or SupplementPack to our basal medium do I have to add FCS you obtain the complete growth medium. No further supplementation with serum or growth factors is required. Please note: Our media do not contain antibiotics. If you wish to use antibiotics you can add penicillin/streptomycin or gentamicin/amphotericin B at standard concentrations. Addition of antibiotics can however reduce the doubling time of the cells up to 30-40%.
The qualitative and quantitative composition of the supplements can be found on our website and in the data sheets of the specialized media. When there is no such information specified; the composition of the supplements is confidential.
