EccoCell has a large collection of frozen cord blood and bone marrow samples from its activities connected to commercial storage facilities for cord blood and bone marrow. Part of the samples are available for research purposes. We will isolate AC133+ and mesenchymal stem cells from these samples using standard procedures such as ficoll paque plus and MACS purification techniques. The cells will be expanded further in vitro and will then be supplied to the partners or cryo-preserved for later use.
