The invention provides culture platforms,
cell media, and methods of differentiating pluripotent cells into hematopoietic cells. The invention further provides pluripotent
stem cell-derived hematopoietic cells generated using the culture platforms and methods disclosed herein, which enable feed-free,
monolayer culturing and in the absence of EB formation. Specifically, pluripotent
stem cell-derived
hematopoietic cell of this invention include, and not limited to, iHSC, definitive hemogenic
endothelium, hematopoietic multipotent progenitors,
T cell progenitors, NK
cell progenitors, T cells, NK cells, NKT cells and B cells.
