Biochem Pharmacol, 1998). Mitomycin C can mitotically inactivate mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) for use as feeder cell layers in embryonic stem cell co-culture systems (Bryja et al. Nat Protoc, 2006). Mitomycin C is supplied as a crystalline solid with ≥ 98% purity; Molecular weight 334.3 g/mol; CAS number 50-07-7. Visit STEMCELL.com for more information and related products.
