Primary cell line, definition

Differentiation. Pluripotency is one of the defining features of ES cells. The most definitive test of pluripotency of the cells is the formation of chimeras in mice in which the mES cells are injected into the blastocyst. The approach cannot be applied to assess pluripotency of hES cells, therefore, and teratoma formation after injection of embryonic bodies (EBs) of hES cells in vitro into immunocompromised mice is currently used to validate the pluripotency of the established hES cell lines in culture. In the case of mES cells, once differentiation of ES cells has started, the cells representing the primary germ layers spontaneously develop in vitro in the absence of LIF. The culture conditions to form EBs include hanging drops [30], suspension mass culture [31], or the use of methylcellulose [32]. Initially, an outer layer of endoderm-like cells forms within ESs, followed by the development of an ectodermal layer and subsequent specification of mesodermal cells over a period of a few days [33]. The generation of specific functional cell types from hES cells has been demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. In fact, with the rapid interest in... 

Operational standards (OS) are also defined which are traceable to the Reference Value Standard (RVS). Values are assigned by means of the operational cells I and II where the Uquid junctions are the free diffusion type reproducibly formed in 1 mm vertical capillary tubes. These operational standards are not restricted in number provided certain preparation criteria are met, and pH(OS) values for 16 solutions are given in Table 4. These OS represent an alternative procedure and are in no way to be regarded as inferior to the primary standards. As a consequence of their definition, all pH(OS) values fall on the line with slope given by the slope factor value forthe appropriate temperature in Table 1. Any ddference in liquid junction potential between the solutions of cells I and II and KCl is subsumed into the assigned value of pH(OS).
