Methods for promoting differentiation and differentiation efficiency

摘要

The invention is directed to methods for promoting differentiation of stem cells to hematopoietic cell lineages. The invention is further directed to increasing the differentiation efficiency of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Such methods utilize novel compositions, including but not limited to, Amnion-derived Multipotent Progenitor cells (herein referred to as AMP cells) and conditioned media derived therefrom (herein referred to as Amnion-derived Cellular Cytokine Solution or ACCS), each alone or in combination with each other or other agents.
