Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for the culture and maintenance of cancer stem cells. More particularly, the present invention provides the identification of cancer stem cell specific markers and methods of recognizing the same for the detection of tumors, for facilitating the prognosis of a patient with a tumor, and for the treatment of various cancers. The invention also provides antibodies that specifically recognize the disulfide linked Erbb2?16 homodimer, an Erbb2?16/Erbb3 heterodimer, or post-translational modifications of Erbb2 that are specific to Erbb2 of variant hESCs. In addition, the invention provides a modified defined media useful in the absence of a feeder layer and in the absence of serum or serum replacement, that comprises a basal salt nutrient solution, bFGF, IGF-I, and Activin A, and wherein the composition does not comprise heregulin.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for mammalian neural cell production, their stabilization and their proliferation. More particularly, the present invention provides cellular differentiation methods employing culturing the cells on a cell line or in cell culture and further contacting the cells with MEDII conditioned medium for the generation of stable mammalian neural cells from pluripotent mammalian stem cells. The invention further provides methods for the stabilization of a neural cell in culture comprising contacting the neural cell with MEDII conditioned medium. Preferably, the stabilized neural cell is a neural progenitor cell.

Abstract: The current invention relates to the control and/or manipulation of the gamma-secretase signaling pathway in pluripotent cells to stabilize the cells in a pluripotent state and/or to control the differentiation of the pluripotent cells towards a differentiated state. The invention further includes feeder layers that contain or express ligands or other compounds that inhibit gamma-secretase or Notch signaling to enhance the maintenance of pluripotent cells in a pluripotent state. The invention also includes cell culture compositions that comprise pluripotent cells and inhibitors of gamma-secretase, or activators or inhibitors of Notch signaling.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for human pluripotent cell culturing and for neural cell production. More particularly, the present invention provides culturing methods employing dissociating cell cultures to an essentially single cell culture, such as by employing antibody selection and bulk passaging treatments utilizing the subsequent application of Collagenase and trypsin. In certain embodiments, the cells are further treated with essentially serum free MEDII conditioned medium, proline, or minimal medium, and are optionally treated with amphiphilic lipid compounds for the generation of human neural cells from pluripotent human cells. In certain embodiments, the cells cultured using these methods have an abnormal karyotype.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to variant recombinant forms of haemopoietic growth factors useful as antagonists to the corresponding native haemopoietic growth factor and their use in ameliorating aberrant effects caused by the native molecules and in the treatment of tumours and cancers and inflammation.
