Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” human PSC in “StemMACS iPSC-Brew XF medium” for “1” days. “PSC” should be “unspecified regulation” for “DKC1”. For ECM, use “Matrigel” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

concentrationunit
EDTA5.0e-4mol/l
Y-276231.0e-5mol/l

Ideally, “PSC” should be obtained at the end of culture.

Step 2: mesoderm 1

day 1 ~ 5

culture “unspecified method” human PSC in “DMEM low glucose” for “4” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.
