Pluripotent marker expression analysis of hOB-iPSCs and hFB-iPSCs. (a) hOB-iPSC and hFB-iPSC qRT-PCR expression of endogenous pluripotent genes, Sox2, Oct4, Nanog, and hTERT (). (b) Immunofluorescence of hOB-iPSC for pluripotency markers, TRA-1-60, Oct4, Nanog, Sox2, and IgG-FITC control (scale bars = 30 μm). ( indicates nonstaining MEF background.)
