Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of stem cells derived from various perinatal tissues, including the placenta, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord. The most common processing, isolation, and cryopreservation protocols for different cell types will be briefly outlined as well. Several commercial products for stem cell processing and applications will be presented. At the end of the chapter, the main steps for stem cell procurement, processing, culturing and passaging, and cryopreservation will be explained. The reader will be able to harvest and maintain cells based on the steps outlined in this chapter and referring to the references cited.
