Description: The Immortalized Human Pancreatic Islet-derived Precursor cells are derived from human pancreatic tissue. They are a type of mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC) capable of proliferating and differentiating into islet-like cells. These cells are useful in providing insight into human β cell development cycle and are an ideal model for research in cell replacement therapies of diabetes.

Propagation: The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow II medium available at
abm, Cat. No.
TM002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (
TM999)* to a final concentration of 10%, and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (
G255) to a final concentration of 1%. Carbon dioxide (CO
2): 5%, Temperature: +37.0°C.
* abm does not recommend to use heat-inactivated FBS for cell culture unless specified otherwise.Quality Control: Real Time PCR was used to quantify SV40 gene expression in immortalized cell line.
