ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

This chapter describes standard techniques to (1) maintain mouse embryonic stem cell culture, (2) deliver transgenes into mouse embryonic stem cells mediated by electroporation, nucleofection, lipofection, and retro/lentiviruses, and (3) assess the pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells. The last part of this chapter presents induction of random cell differentiation followed by the alkaline phosphatase and embryoid body formation assays, immunofluorescence microscopy, and the teratoma formation assay.
