1. A method for reducing the residual pluripotent stem cells in an in vitro differentiated cell population, comprisingculturing an in vitro differentiated cell population at an oxygen partial pressure that is less than or about 50 mm Hg for 10 days or more;
- harvesting the differentiated cell population after the culturing step;
wherein the harvested cell population comprises less than 1 pluripotent stem cell per 103 cells.

Abstract
The invention provides methods and compositions relating to differentiated cell populations that derive from pluripotent stem cells. The methods relate to reducing the number of residual stem cells present in such populations. The compositions include differentiated cell populations that contain reduced number of stem cells or that contain no stem cells. Pluripotent stem cells may be reduced in number and/or function through exposure to low oxygen levels.
