Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 4

culture “adherent” human DPPSC in “DMEM-low glucose” for “4” days. For ECM, use “FN1” at “1.0e-4” “g/l”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “4” days.

Ideally, “DPPSC” should express “OCT4A”, “NANOG”, “SOX2”, “ALP” at the end of culture.

Step 2: endothelial 1

day 4 ~ 6

culture “adherent” human DPPSC in “EGM2” for “2” days. Medium should be changed once in “2” days.

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