  • Patent number: 6180404
    Abstract: The present invention provides a minimal essential medium for maintaining neural cell or tissue viability in an environment containing ambient levels of CO2. The medium contains less than about 2000 &mgr;M bicarbonate, a buffer having a pKa of from about 6.9 to about 7.7, wherein the medium is free of ferrous sulfate, glutamate and aspartate, from 0 to about 3000 &mgr;M CaCl2, from about 0.05 to about 0.8 &mgr;M Fe(NO3)3, from about 2500 to about 10000 &mgr;M KCl, from 0 to about 4000 &mgr;M MgCl2, from about 74000 to about 103000 &mgr;M NaCl, from about 400 to about 2000 &mgr;M NaHCO3, from about 250 to about 4000 &mgr;M NaH2PO4, from about 0.2 to about 2 &mgr;M ZnSO4, from about 2500 to about 50000 &mgr;M glucose and from about 23 to about 500 &mgr;M sodium pyruvate. The present invention also provides a process of extending neural cell or tissue viability in an atmosphere having ambient levels of carbon dioxide whereby the neural cells or tissue are placed in such a medium.
