HuStem media are highly qualified feeder-free and xeno pathogen-free media which can be used to culture
human pluripotent stem cells [human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and human induced pluripotent stem cells
(hiPSC)] and to generate human induced pluripotent stem cell lines.

New xeno-free & feeder-free media
for the derivation and maintenance of human
pluripotent stem cells
Abstract
1. Xeno-free & feeder-free
- For clinical use of stem cells
- Less variance in performance
- Easy standardization of tissue culture protocols
- Significant reduction in time, effort, and expense
2. Long-term maintenance of hESCs or hiPSCs; H9-hESCs were maintained undifferentiated for more than
50 passages
3. Efficient derivation of xeno-free hiPSCs
This technology can be used for long-term culture and derivation of xeno-free human pluripotent stem cells.

H9-hESC line
Fig 1. The HuStem1-4 (xeno-free & feeder-free) media supported undifferentiated growth of hESCs as efficiently as
mTeSR1 (feeder-free, but not xeno-free; Stemcell Technologies).
Fig 2. The HuStem1 medium was superior in culturing H9-hESC compared to other commercially available
xeno-free & feeder-free products.

Fig 4. A normal karyotype was observed for H9-hESC after 20 passages in HuStem1 as well as for a hiPSC line after
22 passages in HuStem4.
Fig 3. After the 27th passage, a hiPSC line maintained in the HuStem1 medium showed no sign of differentiation in
morphology and expressed pluripotent cell-specific markers such as Oct4, Sox2, SSEA4, Tra1-60, and Tra1-81.

Fig 5. (a) The number of hiPSC colonies formed in HuStem1 medium was higher than that generated by the
conventional MEF-mediated method. The colonies were immunostained with antibody against Tra1-60. (b) The
number of hiPSC colonies generated by each method was expressed in a graph. (n=5, p=0.017).

● A H9-hESC line maintained in the HuStem1 and mTeSR1 medium showed no differentiation for 14 passages.
On the other hand, a H9-hESC line maintained in other commercially available xeno-free & feeder-free media
(NutriStem, Invitrogen XF-medium and TeSR2) showed instability and differentiation.
● HuStem1 medium can be used to culture pluripotent stem cells for at least 20 passages while retaining
pluripotency marker expression, and robust proliferation with a normal karyotype.
