Technical Notes: Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit

The process of bone marrow-derived stem cell (BMSC)/mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) isolation and expansion requires evaluation of their status by their ability to differentiate into multiple mesenchymal lineages. R&D Systems' Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Functional Identification Kit (Catalog # SC006) contains specially formulated media supplements to effectively differentiate BMSCs/MSCs into adipogenic, chondrogenic, or osteogenic lineages along with a panel of antibodies to identify the mature phenotypes.
