The goal of this study was to identify feasible and reproducible in vitro assays to predict mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) potency. MSC lines were generated from normal human bone marrow samples and characterized by their growth, proliferation, and viability as determined by cell count, bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, and cellular ATP levels, respectively. It was found that high performance in a combination of in vitro tests accurately predicted which lines functioned well in vivo, suggesting that reliable and reproducible in vitro assays may be used to measure the functional potential of MSCs for therapeutic use.
