Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” mouse PSC in “KnockOut DMEM” for “1” days. For ECM, use “Fibroblast” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

Ideally, “PSC” should express “POU5F1”, “SOX2”, “NANOG”, “SSEA1” at the end of culture.
