Quantification of neural and vascular markers by flow cytometry and histology images of late stage hybrid spheroids. Flow cytometry histograms for day 21 iEC spheroids, iNPC spheroids, or tri-cultured spheroids for (A) β-tubulin III; and (B) CD31. Black line: negative control; red line: marker of interest. The percentage indicates the positive cells versus total cells. (C) Flow cytometry quantification of β-tubulin III (β-tub III, n = 3) and (D) CD31 (n = 3). *Indicates p < 0.05 for the different test conditions. (E) Images of histological sections of late stage spheroids (total day 47) showed the expression of cortical layer markers: TBR1 (red)/SATB2 (green), BRN2 (red)/SATB2 (green). SATB2: cortical superficial layer II-IV. Hoechst: blue. The dashed lines indicate the locations of spheroids and the cortical layers. Scale bar: 100 μm. (F) Confocal images of histological sections of spheroids (total day 47) for β-tubulin III (green) and vascular marker CD31 (red). Scale bar: 50 μm.
