Optimization of 2D BMEx overlay method
(A) Experimental scheme depicting the different conditions tested in (B) and (C).
(B) FACS plots depicting the percentage of double EPCAM+ITGA6+ cells at day 5 in line F99 to test different BMP4 concentrations.
(C) Immunofluorescence for POU5F1 and SOX17 at day 5 in line F99 to test different BMP4 concentrations. Dashed box is magnified (bottom), showing separated channels. Scale bars: 50 μm.
(D) Experimental scheme depicting different conditions tested (left) and the associated FACS plots (right) depicting the percentage of double EPCAM+ITGA6+ cells at day 5 in line F99.
(E) Representative FACS plots showing percentages of double EPCAM+ITGA6+ cells at day 5 generated using Geltrex, Cultrex, and Matrigel overlay in line M54.
(F) Bar graph showing mean percentages of double EPCAM+ITGA6+ cells at day 5 generated using different brands and batches of BMEx, analyzed by FACS in line M54; error bars represent mean ± SD.
