Flow Cytometry and qPCR Validation of Proteins
(A) FZD4 protein abundance time course was assessed using flow cytometry (n = 4 independent experiments, mean ± SEM).
(B) FLK1+PDGFRA+ subpopulation concomitantly stained with FZD4 show FZD4+ and FZD4− subpopulations. The number in the box represents the percent positive value.
(C) qPCR interrogation of lateral plate and paraxial mesoderm genes on sorted FLK1+PDGFRA+FZD4+ and FLK1+PDGFRA+FZD4− populations. FLK1+PDGFRA+FZD4+ cells showed an enrichment of lateral plate mesoderm genes while FLK1+PDGFRA+FZD4− cells showed an enrichment of paraxial mesoderm genes (mean ± SEM, n = 4 independent experiments, ∗p < 0.05).
