Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “device” human PSC in “E8” for “1” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

concentrationunit
Y276321.0e-5mol/l

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

Step 2: Primitive streak 1

day 1 ~ 2

culture “spheroid” human PSC in “StemPro” for “1” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

concentrationunit
Ascorbic Acid0.05g/l
Glutamine0.002mol/l
MTG4.0e-4mol/l
BMP45.0e-7g/l

Step 3: mesoderm 1

day 2 ~ 7

culture “spheroid” human PSC in “StemPro” for “5” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “5” days.

concentrationunit
Ascorbic Acid0.05g/l
Glutamine0.002mol/l
MTG4.0e-4mol/l
BMP41.0e-5g/l
FGF5.0e-6g/l
Activin A3.0e-6g/l

Step 4: mesoderm 2

day 7 ~ 9

culture “spheroid” human PSC in “StemPro” for “2” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

concentrationunit
Ascorbic Acid0.05g/l
Glutamine0.002mol/l
