Step 1: endothelial 1

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” human PSC in “human endothelial serum-free medium” for “1” days. For ECM, use “laminin 511-E8” at “0.01” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

concentrationunit
bovine platelet-poor plasma derived serum1%
FBS2%
FGF2.0e-5g/l
retinoic acid1.0e-5mol/l

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

Step 2: endothelial 2

day 1 ~ 2 (duration missing in database; assumed 1 day)

culture “adherent” human PSC in “human endothelial serum-free medium”. For ECM, use “laminin 511-E8” at “0.01” “g/m2”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table.

concentrationunit
bovine platelet-poor plasma derived serum1%

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