Generation of Human-Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells by a Nonintegrating RNA Sendai Virus Vector in Feeder-Free or Xeno-Free Conditions

Figure 3

(A) Characterization and differentiation of iPSC colonies generated on xeno-free conditions. Colonies were stained for pluripotent markers: NANOG (b), SSEA4 (c), SOX2 (e), Tra1-60 (f), and phase ((a) and (d)). (B) These colonies were differentiated in vitro into embryoid bodies (EBs) comprising of the three embryonic germ layers: endoderm marker α fetoprotein (AFP) (g), mesodermal marker smooth muscle actin (SMA) (h), and ectoderm marker Beta 3-tubulin (Beta III) (i).
