The invention discloses a serum-
free medium for stem cells. The serum-
free medium comprises a basic medium, an additive and a
cytokine combination, wherein in terms of the volume of the basic medium as reference, the additive comprises
transferrin in a volume ratio of 5%-10%,
insulin with concentration of 5-15 mg / L, 2-4 mM of L-
glutamine, growth factors with concentration of 5-15 ng / mL, BMP-5
antibody with concentration of 0.05-0.25 ng / mL, 2-4 mM of a lipid complex and trace elements with concentration of 1-5 mg / L. The serum-free animal-derived components are adopted, so that interference of many uncertain substances (such as different antigens, antibodies,
hormone and cytokines) contained in serum on in-vitro expansion
survival rate and the
cell proliferation process of hematopoietic stemcells is eliminated, the proliferation efficiency is increased, the quantity of high-activity hematopoietic stem cells is increased, use types and adding content of the cytokines in the in-vitro expansion process of the hematopoietic stem cells are adjusted, then the activity of the hematopoietic stem cells in in-vitro expansion is improved, and death rate of the cells can be reduced.
