ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for producing an expanded, enriched, non-transformed human cell culture of human pancreatic, thyroid or parathyroid endocrine cells and other types of cells which comprises (1) preparing partially purified, minced tissue that includes a desired type of cells; (2) concentrating the desired cells; (3) resuspending the concentrated cells in a growth medium which selects in favor of the desired cells and in which those cells are proliferated without being transformed and differentiated functions are retained through periodic passaging; (4) culturing the resuspended cells in the growth medium to effect sustained cell division; and (5) passaging the cultured cells periodically to expand the culture. The present invention further provides clonal strains of cells derived from the above-mentioned cell culture and procedures to form matrix-embedded aggregated and non-aggregated cells for providing pseudotissues and products such as matrix-embedded pancreatic islets (pseudoislets). Growth medium and conditioned medium is provided for the culturing of the cells and clonal strains, the growth medium comprising a suitable basal medium supplemented with effective concentrations of hypothalamus and pituitary extracts, serum and other ingredients, which growth medium selects in favor of desired human cells and against passenger cells including fibroblast, macrophage, and capillary endothelial cells such that the desired cells are selectively proliferated without being transformed and an expanded cell culture is provided of functionally differentiated, expanded, non-transformed human cells that is substantially free of such passenger cells.
