Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are currently being evaluated in equine clinical studies for their potential to treat various disorders and injuries. Studies have shown that both autologous and allogeneic stem cells appear to be safe. However, an efficient cell expansion method that is reliable and cost-effective is warranted to provide off-the-shelf clinical grade stem cells. Our study aimed to determine optimum culture conditions for efficient large-scale stem cell expansion. We produced cGMP standard equine adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells on a large scale. Five different medium combinations—Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium-knockout (DMEM-KO), alpha modified minimum essential medium (α-MEM), 50:50 DMEM-KO/α-MEM, 75:25 DMEM-KO/α-MEM and 25:75 DMEM-KO/α- MEM—at seeding densities of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 cells/cm2, were us..
