I got P6282 from sigma. Working concentration given by them is .1mg/ml. Can i use it for neuronal differentiation of WJ-MSCs. Somebody please do help me or should i go for mol weight more than 300,000.
Wharton’s jelly (WJ) cells was cultivated in 10 cm Petri dish and MSCs medium (DMEM/F12 with Glutamax (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA)) supplemented with 10% of fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 0.2% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (Article Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Wharton...
2.3. Neural Induction of hWJ-MSCs
The cryopreserved hWJ-MSCs were thawed and seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated T75 flasks at a density of 2 × 103 cells/cm2 in MSCs medium (Day 0). The cells were cultured in this medium at 37 °C with 5% CO2, 21% O2, and 95% humidity for one day. After approximately 24 h when the cells were well attached to the surface, the medium was changed to NSCs induction medium (DMEM/F12 with Glutamax supplemented with 2% of FBS, 0.2% of Penicillin/Streptomycin, 1% of N2 supplement (100×) (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and EGF 10 ng/mL (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA)). The cells were maintained in this medium for three days, and then the medium was changed to NSCs proliferation medium (DMEM/F12 with Glutamax supplemented with 2% of FBS, 0.2% of Penicillin/Streptomycin, 2% of B27 supplement (50×) (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), EGF 20ng/mL (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), bFGF 20ng (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA)). The cells were cultured in this medium at 37 °C with 5% CO2, 21% O2, and 95% humidity for six days and the medium was changed every second day.

Polylysine solutions are typically used to coat glassware and plasticware for the attachment and growth of cells.
Preparation
Prepare a stock solution by dissolving 100 mg polylysine in 100 ml water (poly-L-lysine or poly-D-lysine can be used; check specific protocol for choice of isomer)and filter sterilize through a 0.22-micron filter.
Store in 5-ml aliquots at -20°C.
Coating culture dishes, multiwell plates, or chamber slides
When ready to use, dilute 1 part stock solution with 19 parts water to prepare a 50 ?g/ml working solution.
Fill tissue culture dishes, multiwell plates, or slide wells with the working solution and incubate 1 hr in a 37°C incubator, then remove solution by vacuum aspiration and allow surface to dry.
To coat coverslips: Sterilize coverslips by autoclaving or by incubating them in 95% ethanol and drying before coating. Place coverslips in a single layer in a petri dish containing working solution and incubate 1 hr at 37°C. Remove coverslips using sterile forceps and allow surface to dry.
Store coated tissue culture ware up to 3 months at 4°C. Use diluted solutions only once.
Additional information
When coating with poly-l-lysine, the efficiency of coating is relatively low when prepared with distilled water due to the acidic pH of the solution that can range between a pH of 3.3-6.6. One recommendation [1] to improve coating is to use an 8.5 pH borate buffer to dissolve the lysine, with thorough rinsing after coating. In addition to the basic techniques shown here, there are a variety of approaches recommended by vendors as shown below.
VendorRecommendationMPBio
Dissolve 10mg poly-l-lysine in 1ml water as 1% stock solution.
Dilute stock solution 2 fold in PBS as 1x coating solution.
Add enough coating solution to cover culture surface completely and incubate for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Remove coating solution and rinse 2 times with PBS or serum- free culture medium.
Use immediately or let it dry for future use.
BrainBits
Dissolve poly-d-lysine, (135kd molecular weight), in sterile water to 50ug/ml.
Add 0.15ml/cm² of solution culture surface.
Incubate 1-20 hours.
Rinse 1 time and let dry.
Genlantis
Dissolve 5mg poly-d-lysine, (70-150kd molecular weight), in 100ml sterile water to 50ug/ml.
Add enough poly-d-lysine solution to cover culture surface.
Incubate 1-24 hours.
Remove polylysine solution and rinse the plate thoroughly.
Let the plate dry.
Store coated plates room temperature or 4-8°C
Invitroscience
Dissolve 100mg poly-d-lysine, (70-150kd molecular weight), in 100ml sterile water to 1mg/ml stock solution.
Dilute stock to 0.1mg/ml with sterile water.
Cover culture surface with polylysine coating solution.
Incubate 1 hour at room temperature in hood.
Remove polylysine solution and rinse 3 time with PBS.
Sigma-Aldrich
Add 50ml of sterile water to 5mg of poly lysine.
Coat cell culture surface with 1ml per 25cm² culture surface
Incubate 5 minutes.
Remove poly lysine solution and rinse the plate thoroughly with sterile water and let it dry at least 2 hours.
Thanks for the Answer is it a working protocol. Some people form neuroshere and differentiate them into neurons. What you mentioned is direct protocol. Iam following indirect method. I plated 3.9*105 cells per 6 well plate and 3 day after induction I saw some aggregates, does it mean they r forming spheres or just cell artifacts ism really confused could you pls help me out. Iam attaching the pic for reference.
