Validation of hESC-Derived Ventricular Cardiomyocyte Cell-Surface Marker Signature
Multi-color flow cytometry was used to simultaneously analyze the expression of surface markers CD77 and CD200, the intracellular cardiomyocyte marker, cardiac troponin I (cTNI), and GFP at day 25 of cardiac differentiation. Data are representative of a minimum of three independent biological replicates.
(A) MYL2-GFP-positive (green) and -negative (orange) populations were defined within single cells, after exclusion of doublets and debris (left panel). The simultaneous expression of CD200 and CD77 was analyzed within the GFP− population (middle panel, orange) and the GFP+ population (right panel, green). See Figure S4 for co-expression of CD77 or CD200 with other marker candidates.
(B) CD77 and CD200 expression was first analyzed within the single-cell population (left panel). The expression of cTNI and MYL2-GFP was then analyzed within the CD77−/CD200+ population (middle panel, orange) and CD77+/CD200− population (right panel, green).
