Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “unspecified method” mouse ESC in “DMEM”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

concentrationunit
FBS15%
sodium pyruvate0.001mol/l
NEAA1%
LIF1.0e+6U/l
2-mercaptoethanol1.0e-4mol/l
PSA50000U/l
streptomycin0.05g/l

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

Step 2: mesoderm 1

day 1 ~ 3

culture “spheroid” mouse ESC in “IMDM” for “2” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

concentrationunit
F1225%
BSA0.05%
penicillin G100000U/l
streptomycin0.1g/l
L-glutamate0.002mol/l

MTG4.5e-4mol/l

PVA0.4g/l
Insulin0.01g/l
Y276321.0e-6mol/l
BMP42.0e-5g/l

Step 3: mesoderm 2

day 3 ~ 5

culture “spheroid” mouse ESC in “IMDM” for “2” days. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “2” days.

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