Background: Alpha modified Eagle’s minimum essential medium (α-MEM) and Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) are the basic media for cell culture. α-MEM has minimum glucose and amino acid concentration than DMEM. We report a study comparing the individual effect of these two media used for generation of adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSC), in terms of quantity, viability and immunophenotyping. Material and Methods: Ten grams adipose tissue resected from anterior abdominal wall of 5 willing healthy donors was divided equally into two 75 cm2 tissue culture flasks with 40 ml culture medium, one containing α-MEM and the other containing DMEM. Adipose tissue was minced into tiny pieces, incubated in collagenase-I at ... view more»
