Maintenance, Propagation, and Manipulation of Rat ES and EG Cells: GS1-R Medium

GS1‐R is a completely defined, serum‐free cell culture medium that is used for the derivation, maintenance, and propagation of rat embryonic stem (ES) and embryonic germ (EG) cells. The medium contains selective small molecule inhibitors that block differentiation-inducing signals, maintaining cells in the ‘ground state’ of self-renewal and promoting cell survival and growth (1–3). Rat ES cells cultured in GS1‐R medium are germ-line competent and can be used to generate transgenic knock‐out rats using either classic homologous recombination or nuclease-based gene editing techniques.
