Glasgow Minimum Essential Medium was originally developed by lan MacPherson and Michael Stoker as a modification of Eagle's medium to study the genetic factors affecting cell competence. The polyoma virus was used to transform four fibroblast clones from a culture of baby hamster kidney cells. The medium was developed by modifying Eagle's BME by adding 10% tryptose phosphate and twice the normal concentration of amino acids and vitamins.
