What is the basic component of cancer stem cell media?

I am trying to preserve a population of glioblastoma cells that I believe to be cancer stem cell. I wish to passage the cells and preserve their "stemness" during each passage. I need the right...

Is it possible for two human neuronal cell lines to have different gene sequence for the same protein?

I am looking at the ATP1A2 (Sodium/Potassium ATPase alpha subunit 2) in two human neuronal cell lines. Expression levels of this protein seems to be almost equal when detected by one antibody....
