Step 1: iPSC/ESC maintainance

day 0 ~ 1

culture “adherent” human ESC in “E8” for “1” days. For ECM, use “vitronectin” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should be changed once in “1” days.

Step 2: endothelial 1

day 1 ~ 2

culture “adherent” human NCC in “KnockOut DMEM/F-12” for “1” days. For ECM, use “vitronectin” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

Ideally, “CEC” should express “TJP1”, “ATP1A1”, “AQP1”, “CDH2”, “ALCAM” at the end of culture.

Step 3: endothelial 2

day 2 ~ 3

culture “adherent” human CEC in “KnockOut DMEM/F-12” for “1” days. For ECM, use “vitronectin” at “N/A” “N/A”. Medium should contain factors shown in the following table, and should be changed once in “1” days.

Ideally, “CEC” should express “COL8A2”, “AQP1”, “ALCAM”, “ZP4”, “SLC4A4”, “PCDH19”, “ATP1B2”, “TJP1”, “CDH2”, “ATP1A1”, “CLCN3” at the end of culture.
