Description
Conditioned Medium for Retinal Explant Culture

Procedure
Remove E14.5 rat retinae with lens intact in prewarmed explant culture medium. Immediately place 4 retinae on a polycarbonate filter (1 micron pore size, 13 mm diameter, Corning/Nucleopore #110410) in 1 ml prewarmed explant culture medium in a 12 well dish.

Culture for 4 days and each day add as much medium as possible (50-100ml) to each explant (4 retinae) from the well containing the explant.

On the fourth day, remove the explants, dilute the cultured supernatant twofold with fresh explant culture medium, and filter through a syring filter that is low protein binding such as Millex-GV (0.22 micron pore size).

Store at -80C in 240 microliter aliquotes.

To use add 20 microliters per explant each day.
