LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION OF RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIAL CELLS

摘要

A method of generating retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is disclosed. The method comprises: (a) culturing human pluripotent stem cells in a human feeder cell-conditioned medium to obtain a cultured population of human pluripotent stem cells; (b) culturing said cultured population of human pluripotent stem cells in a medium comprising a differentiating agent to obtain differentiating cells; and (c) culturing said differentiating cells in a medium comprising one or more members of the TGFβ superfamily.
