Problems solved by technology
Attempts at isolating ES cells from other animals apparently have failed.
In addition, the evidence presented in the Evans application for the differentiation of the cow and pig putative ES cell lines into differentiated cell types in monolayer culture, in embryoid bodies and in tumors, is not convincing.

Materials and Methods
Feeder Cells
[0066] The SI / SI4 cell line, derived from a homozygous null SI / SI mouse embryo, and its derivative, SI4-m220, which stably expresses only membrane bound murine SF lacking exon 6 encoding the proteolytic cleavage site, were obtained from Dr. David Williams (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Indiana University Medical School). Other cell lines which produce adequate SF can be substituted for SI / SI4, for example mouse or human embryo fibroblasts or cell lines or somatic cell lines from gonads or genital ridges. Combinations of feeder cells can also be utilized. They were maintained in DMEM with 10% calf serum and 50 ug / ml gentamicin. For making feeder layers they were irradiated (500 rads) and plated at a density of 2×105 per well of 24-well plates (Falcon) in the same medium, 24 hrs before use. Wells were pre-treated w...

Abstract
The present invention provides a non-mouse, including human, pluripotential embryonic stem cell which can: (a) be maintained on feeder layers for at least 20 passages; and (b) give rise to embryoid bodies and multiple differentiated cell phenotypes in monolayer culture. The invention further provides a method of making a pluripotential embryonic stem cell comprising culturing germs cells and germ cell progenitors in a composition comprising a growth enhancing amount of basic fibroblast growth factor, leukemia inhibitory factor, membrane associated steel factor, and soluble steel factor to primordial germ cells under cell growth conditions, thereby making a pluripotential embryonic stem cell. Also provided are composition useful to produce the pluripotent embryonic stem cells and methods of screening associated with the method of making the embryonic stem cell.
