Expression of CTAs and lineage-specific genes in differentiated hES cell derivatives. (a) Morphology and immunostaining of extraembryonic endoderm derivatives by antibodies against GATA4 and OCT4, mesenchymal cells against α-ACTININ and OCT4, neuroectodermal cells against NESTIN and NANOG. Scale bar = 100 μm. (b) Expression profiles of CTAs and lineage marker genes in hES cell derivatives.
