可以。在mTeSR培养基+BD Matrigel基底膜基质条件下培养并冻存的PSCs细胞可复苏至Gibco Essential 8培养基中并种植于VTN-N基质上。某些细胞系复苏至冻存前的生长培养基及基质中可能会效果更好。在随后的下一次传代过程中，就可使用EDTA将这些细胞传代至Gibco Essential 8培养基+VTN-N的组合中了。
分散酶与胶原酶一类的酶并不适用于Gibco Essential 8培养基和Gibco玻连蛋白（VTN-N）的组合。使用这些酶类传代会导致细胞活力和贴壁能力下降。
培养在Gibco Essential 8培养基与VTN-N组合中的细胞应使用EDTA进行传代。
您预期可看到正常的多能干细胞（PSC）形态。PSC的预期生长形态是如图所示的典型形态为，包括边界清晰的紧密聚集克隆和高核质比。
培养于其它无饲养层培养体系的细胞，例如mTeSR培养基搭配Matrigel基底膜基质，或StemPro hESC SFM搭配Geltrex基质，也能够成功培养于Gibco Essential 8培养基搭配VTN-N的体系中。此外，在饲养层细胞搭配KnockOut SR中培养的PSC经证明也能够培养于Gibco Essential 8培养基搭配VTN-N的组合中。不过在更换培养基体系之前，细胞必须手工传代或用EDTA进行传代到Gibco Essential 8培养基搭配VTN-N的体系中。
Gibco Essential 8培养基与玻连蛋白经证明能够支持PSC的生长达50代以上而不会发生任何核型异常，同时这些PSC仍保持着分化为三胚层的能力。James Thomson实验室Chen等报道（Chen G, Gulbranson DR, Hou Z et al (2010) Chemically defined conditions for human iPSC derivation and culture.Nat Methods 8:424–429.），玻连蛋白的VTN-N变异体与Gibco Essential 8培养基联用时相比野生型玻连蛋白能更好地支持人多能干细胞的贴壁和存活。。
是的。VTN-N是成份明确的人重组蛋白。
以Gibco玻连蛋白（VTN-N）作为细胞生长基质使用Gibco Essential 8培养基的条件相比使用其他无饲养层系统而言，有三个主要差别需要加以考量：
•通常细胞的传代时间比其他无饲养层培养基提前24小时左右。
•细胞在达到85%左右的汇合度时即需要传代。如果细胞传代时超过了85%的汇合度，细胞健康度及最终的细胞得率都会下降。
•细胞应使用EDTA进行传代。不推荐使用胶原酶或分散酶。
由于VTN-N是成份明确的人源重组蛋白，因此相比人血浆来源的玻连蛋白和标准基底膜抽提物（BME）而言，能够有助于降低PSC培养的变异度。此外，VTN-N与全长的玻连蛋白及其他成份明确的基质相比更加经济和便于缩放PSC培养体系。
Gibco玻连蛋白（VTN-N）是按照人源玻连蛋白62-478号氨基酸片段设计，在大肠杆菌中表达的截短型人源重组蛋白。VTN-N经内涵体纯化和重新折叠，适合在人源PSC无饲养层培养体系作为基质使用（Chen G, Gulbranson DR, Hou Z et al (2010) Chemically defined conditions for human iPSC derivation and culture.Nat Methods 8:424–429）。当与Gibco Essential 8培养基联用时，VTN-N经验证能够帮助维持多种PSC细胞系的多能性和正常生长。
We recommend using Vitronectin (VTN-N) Recombinant Human Protein, Truncated (Cat. No. A14700), but Geltrex LDEV-Free hESC-qualified Reduced Growth Factor Basement Membrane Matrix (Cat. No. A1413301 or Cat. No. A1413302) can also be used.

Yes. PSCs cryopreserved from cultures of mTeSR Medium and BD Matrigel Basement Membrane Matrix may be thawed into Gibco Essential 8 Medium and plated on VTN-N. Certain lines may benefit from thawing into the medium and substrate they were growing in at the time of cryopreservation. Then at the next passage, use EDTA to passage the cells into Gibco Essential 8 Medium and VTN-N.

Enzymes such as dispase and collagenase do not work well with cells cultured in Gibco Essential 8 Medium on VTN-N. Use of these enzymes for passaging cells results in compromised viability and attachment.

Cells cultured in Gibco Essential 8 Medium and VTN-N need to be passaged with EDTA.

You should expect to see normal pluripotent stem cell (PSC) morphology. The expected morphology of PSCs is demonstrated specifically by tightly packed colonies with defined borders and a high nucleus-to-cytoplasm ratio.

Cells cultured in other feeder-free media systems, such as mTeSR Medium with Matrigel Basement Membrane Matrix, or StemPro hESC SFM with Geltrex Matrix, can be successfully cultured in Gibco Essential 8 Medium and VTN-N. In addition, PSCs grown on feeders with KnockOut SR have also been shown to be successfully cultured in Gibco Essential 8 Medium on VTN-N. However, when changing media systems, cells must be passaged either manually, or with EDTA prior to culturing in Gibco Essential 8 Medium on VTN-N.

Gibco Essential 8 Medium and vitronectin have been shown to support PSC growth for >50 passages without any signs of karyotypic abnormalities, and maintain the ability of PSCs to differentiate into all three germ line lineages. As published by Chen et al (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21478862) in the laboratory of James Thomson, the VTN-N variant of vitronectin supports human pluripotent stem cell attachment and survival better than wild-type vitronectin when used in conjunction with Gibco Essential 8 Medium.

Yes. VTN-N is a defined, recombinant human protein.

Here are three major differences to be taken into consideration when culturing cells in Gibco Essential 8 Medium on Gibco Vitronectin (VTN-N) compared to other feeder-free systems:
- Cells should be typically passaged ~24 hours sooner than they would be with other feeder-free media.
- Passaging should take place when cells are at ~85% confluency. If cells are passaged when they are more than 85% confluent, the health of the cells and final cell yield may be compromised.
- Cells must be passaged in EDTA. Collagenase and dispase are not recommended.

Since VTN-N is a defined, recombinant human protein, variability is reduced in PSC cultures compared to human plasma-derived vitronectin and standard basement membrane extracts (BMEs). In addition, compared to full-length vitronectin and other defined substrates, VTN-N helps enable economical and scalable PSC culture.

Gibco Vitronectin (VTN-N) is a recombinant, truncated human protein corresponding to the amino acid fragment 62-478 of human vitronectin expressed in E. coli. VTN-N is purified from inclusion bodies and refolded for use as a substrate for the feeder-free culture of human PSCs (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21478862). When used with Gibco Essential 8 Medium, VTN-N has been proven to maintain pluripotency and normal growth characteristics in multiple PSC lines.

Yes. Following 2 passages on the rhLaminin-521 matrix, Versene or EDTA passaging should be used to subculture PSCs.
