Retinal differentiation and selection of THY1-positive RGCs using a AAVS1:CAG-P_EGFP hiPSC line. (A) Phase-contrast and brightfield micrograph showing emergence of D28 retinal organoids from differentiating AAVS1:CAG-P_EGFP hiPSCs. Scale bar: 200 μm. (B) Endogenous GFP expression in D56 retinal organoids. Scale bar: 200 μm. (C,D) Immunostaining showing the expression of GFP in all retinal organoid cells. (C) RGCs are identified at D56 according to the co-expression of PAX6 and BRN3A. (D) Co-expression of CRX and recoverin (RCVRN) corresponds to photoreceptors in D130 organoids. Scale bars: 30 μm. (E) RGC characterization in unsorted, THY1– and THY1+ fractions according to the expression of RBPMS, ISLET1, BRN3A, and THY1. Immunostaining for CRX and RCVRN enables photoreceptor identification. Scale bars: 50 μm.
