  • Isolation of Inner Cell Mass for the Establishment of Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Lines
    Publication number: 20080064099
    Abstract: A method of establishing a cell line from the inner cell mass of a blastocyst, comprising: isolating a blastocyst having a zona pellucida, a trophectoderm, and an inner cell mass; creating an aperture in the blastocyst by laser ablation; isolating cells from the inner cell mass from the blastocyst through the aperture; and culturing the cells to establish a cell line, wherein the cells are cultured under feeder free conditions.

  • Isolation of Inner Cell Mass for the Establishment of Human Embryonic Stem Cell (hESC) Lines
    Publication number: 20070048864
    Abstract: A method for isolating an inner cell mass comprising the steps of immobilizing a blastocyst stage embryo having a zona pellucida, trophectoderm, and inner cell mass, creating an aperture in the blastocyst stage embryo by laser ablation, and removing the inner cell mass from the blastocyst stage embryo through the aperture. The aperture is through the zona pellucida and the trophectoderm. The laser ablation is acheived using a non-contact diode laser. The inner cell mass removed from the blastocyst stage embryo is used to establish human Embryonic Stem Cell lines.
