Fig. 2. The 3D-RET protocol for retinal organoid formation.

Fig. 2

A Drawing of the steps in the Sasai and 3D-RET retinal organoid protocol. The number of retinal organoids produced from a 96-well dish is indicated for representative lines for each protocol. Red arrows indicate media changes. B, C Micrograph of representative retinal organoids using the Sasai and 3D-RET protocols in a side-by-side comparison for SJRB-iPSC-4. All organoids from a 96-well dish were analyzed. Arrows indicate retina organoids and (*) indicates cystic structures that are common in the Sasai protocol. D Micrographs of dissociated cell immunofluorescence of retinal organoids and a dot plot showing the percentage of recoverin immunopositive cells from individual retinal organoids (n = 8). MG Matrigel, SAG smoothened agonist, RMM retinal maturation medium, FBS fetal bovine serum, CHIR GSK3 inhibitor, ec23 retinoic acid analog. Scale bars: B, C, 100 μm. D, 5 μm.
