  • Growth of neural precursor cells using umbilical cord blood serum and a process for the preparation for therapeutic purposes
    Patent number: 7897388
    Abstract: This invention is concerned with stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood serum and a method for growing human embryonic stem cells and adult cells comprising sera separated from clotted umbilical cord blood, including growing and differentiating cord blood stem cells into neural precursors, comprising transdifferentiating CD34+, CD45+ and CD133+ stem cells from mononuclear cells derived from umbilical cord blood to neural precursors. The stem cells obtained from the umbilical cord include pluripotent stem and progenitor cell population of mononuclear cells, and separating pluripotent stem and progenitor cell population of mononuclear cells obtained from the umbilical cord blood. A magnetic cell separator is used to separate out cells which contain a CD marker and then expanding the cells in a medium containing retinoic acid as a differentiating agent supplemented with one or more growth factors BDNF, GDNF, NGF and FGF in presence of cord blood serum.
