Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 2

culture “adherent” human PSC in “E8” for “2” days. For ECM, use “vitronectin” at “1” “%”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

Y276321.0e-5mol/l

Step 2: mesoderm 1

day 2 ~ 4

culture “adherent” human PSC in “DMEM/F12” for “2” days. For ECM, use “vitronectin” at “1” “%”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

Step 3: endothelial 1

day 4 ~ 6

culture “adherent” human PSC in “human endothelial serum-free medium” for “2” days. For ECM, use “vitronectin” at “1” “%”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

Step 4: endothelial 2

day 6 ~ 14

culture “device” human PSC in “human endothelial serum-free medium” for “8” days. For ECM, use “ABM” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “8” days.

Ideally, “EC” should express “PECAM1”, “CDH5”, “Glut1”, “VWF”, “MKI67”, “actin” at the end of culture.
