Step 1: endothelial 1

day 0 ~ 4

culture “spheroid” zebrafish cell in “LDF medium” for “4” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.

concentrationunit
EGS4.1%
FBS20%
ZEE0.05g/l
VEGF4.0e-5g/l
FGF1.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “EC” should express “fli1”, “kdrl” at the end of culture.

Step 2: endothelial 2

day 4 ~ 8

culture “adherent” zebrafish cell in “LDF medium” for “4” days. For ECM, use “collagen type-I + Geltrex” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.

concentrationunit
EGS4.1%
FBS15%
ZEE0.05g/l
VEGF4.0e-5g/l
FGF1.0e-5g/l

Ideally, “EC” should express “fli1”, “kdrl”, “vegfab”, “vegfaa”, “notch1a”, “notch1b” at the end of culture.
