Effect of CSF on the in vitro proliferation of isolated epidermal neural crest stem cells. EPI-NCSCs were cultured in α-MEM only ( first group) or CSF (second group), or α-MEM with 10% FBS and 5% CEE (third group), or α-MEM supplemented with 10% CEE and FGF (fourth group) for 72 hours, and proliferation was assessed with a colorimetric BrdU ELISA kit. Proliferation of cells in either CSF or α-MEM was significantly lower than in cells in both supplemented α-MEMs. These data did not show significant differences between the rate of proliferation of cells in primary medium and expansion medium (third and fourth groups, respectively). *P < 0.01. Error bars, 95% CI.
