Figure 2. Derivation of HE from 2 other iPSC lines.

Figure 2

(Aa,b) Phase contrast microscropy demonstrating the typical iPSC HE morphology following 14 days in the differentiation procedure (Magnification x20). (Ac,d) IPSC-derived HE stains positive for albumin at day 14 in the differentiation procedure. The numbers represent the efficiency of the procedure +/− SE. (B) RT-PCR gene expression of iPSCs and iPSC-derived hepatic endoderm. iPSC-derived hepatic endoderm on (lane 1) express the markers AFP, and HNF4 alpha, but not OCT-4. iPSCs strongly express OCT4. Potentially due to spontaneous differentiation found in iPSC culture. PCR reactions were controlled using a –RT control (-RT) and details of primers and cycles can be found in the supplementary methods section
