METHODS: C57BL/6J mouse blastocysts collected at 3.5 days post coitum (dpc) were cultured in the medium supplemented with KSR. In control experiment, KSR was substituted by fetal bovine serum (FBS). When ESC line was established, the morphology of ESCs, the expression of alkaline phosphatase and oct4, and the karyotype and differentiating ability of ESCs were analyzed. RESULTS: 13 blastocysts were cultured in the medium supplemented with KSR and one ESC line (MES1) was established with a normal and stable XX karyotype after cultured for more than 20 passages, and then the high expression of alkaline phosphatase and oct4 was detected. When cultured in suspension, MES1 formed embryoid bodies. When inoculated subcutaneously into nude mice, MES1 formed teratoma. After injected into ICR mouse blastocysts collected at 35 dpc, MES1 incorporated into the inner cell mass of the host blastocyst and contributed to the development of a chimera. In control experiment, no ESC lines were cultured for more than 3 passages. CONCLUSION: KSR can be efficiently used to isolate and culture C57BL/6J mouse ESCs , which can eliminate traditional prescreening of FBS suitable for isolation and culture of ESCs.
