Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 14

culture “adherent” porcine ERM in “Primate ES medium” for “14” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “14” days.

concentrationunit
5Aza1.0e-6mol/l
Vpa0.002mol/l
FGF5.0e-6g/l
PSA0.5%

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

Step 2: endothelial 1

day 14 ~ 21

culture “adherent” porcine DSLC in “EGM2” for “7” days. Medium should be changed once in “7” days.

Ideally, “EC” should express “PECAM1”, “CD34”, “CDH5” at the end of culture.
