Abstract

Cells derived from postpartum placenta and methods for their isolation are provided by the invention. The invention further provides cultures and compositions of the placenta-derived cells. The placenta-derived cells of the invention have a plethora of uses, including but not limited to research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications.

Claims

1. An extracellular matrix composition comprising isolated human placenta-derived cells and extracellular matrix produced by a population of the isolated human placenta-derived cells, wherein the isolated human placenta-derived cells are derived from human postpartum placenta tissue substantially free of blood, wherein the placenta-derived cell self-renews and expands in culture, is multipotent, grows in about 5% to about 20% oxygen, and further comprises the following characteristics:

a) produces CD10, CD13, CD44, CD73, CD90, PDGFr-alpha, PD-L2, HLA-A,B,C, and granulocyte chemotactic protein-2 (GCP-2);

b) does not produce CD31, CD34, CD45, CD80, CD86, CD117, CD141, CD178, B7-H2, HLA-G or HLA-DR-DP, DQ, as detected by flow cytometry; and

c) expresses, relative to a human fibroblast, mesenchymal stem cell, or iliac crest bone marrow cell, increased levels of oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 and renin.

2. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein the isolated human placenta-derived cell in the composition is a cryopreserved cell.

3. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein the placenta-derived cell further comprises the following characteristics:

d) lacks production of GRO-alpha and oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor, as detected by flow cytometry

4. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein the placenta-derived cell is of a neonatal origin.

5. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein said placenta-derived cell is of a maternal origin.

6. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein the placenta-derived cell has the ability to differentiate into a mesodermal, ectodermal, or endodermal phenotype.

7. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein the placenta-derived cell can undergo at least 40 population doublings in culture.

8. The extracellular matrix composition claim 1, further comprising genetically engineering the placenta-derived cell to produce a protein of interest.

9. The extracellular matrix composition of claim 1, wherein the placenta-derived cell is identified by ATCC Accession No. PTA-6074.
