ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a cell culture medium comprising (a) an inhibitor of bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) and (b) an inhibitor of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF, also known as SerpinF1). In one embodiment, the inhibitors are antibodies against BMP-4 and PEDF, respectively. The medium allows to culture keratinocytes under non-differentiating conditions. The invention also relates to corresponding methods and kits. As the media and methods disclosed allow for an improved manufacture of keratinocytes, the invention also relates to the treatment of skin wounds and to the manufacture of corresponding medicaments. This will be of advantage for treatment e.g. of burns, ulcers, etc., in which transplantation of keratinocytes or skin is required.
