Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

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

culture “adherent” mouse PSC in “DMEM”. For ECM, use “MEF feeder” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

concentrationunit
KSR10%
FBS1%
NEAA——
2-mercaptoethanol0.0055mol/l
PSA50000U/l
streptomycin50g/l
LIF——

Step 2: mesoderm 1

day 1 ~ 5

culture “adherent” mouse PSC in “alpha-MEM” for “4” days. For ECM, use “Collagen” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.

concentrationunit
FBS10%
2-mercaptoethanol5.0e-5mol/l

Ideally, “mesoderm” should express “KDR”, “NANOG”, “POU5F1”, “c-myc” at the end of culture.
