hESC lines H1 and H9 were obtained from WiCell Research Institute. iPS-MSC25 (link) (derived from human mesenchymal stem cells) and iPS-Fib225 (link) (derived from human dermal fibroblasts) were a kind gift from George Q. Daley at Children’s Hospital Boston. Essential 8 medium (E8)5 (link), 0.5 mM EDTA, Accutase, ProLong® Antifade reagents, LIVE/DEAD® Cell Viability staining kit, Click-iT® EdU Alexa Fluor® 594 Imaging Kit and Alkaline Phosphatase Live Stain kit were obtained from Life Technologies. Small molecules Y-27632 (ROCK inhibitor, or RI), SB431542, and LDN193189 were from Selleckchem. Matrigel was obtained from BD Biosciences. PNIPAAm-PEG polymer (Mebiol Gel) was from Cosmo Bio, USA. SCID Beige mice were from Charles River Laboratory. Finally, the following antibodies and dilutions were used: Oct4 and Nanog (Santa Cruz Biotech, 1:100); FOXA2 or HNF3β (Santa Cruz Biotech, 1:200); Nestin (Millipore, 1:200); αSMA (Abcom, 1:200).

EB Differentiation with Retinoic Acid and Shh

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ES cells (G4 strain) were cultured in ES maintenance medium, in suspension for 2 days to induce embryoid bodies (EB) formation. EBs were then cultured in differentiation media supplemented with all-trans-Retinoic Acid (2 μM RA) or 2 μM RA plus P150 or P450 derived from the Shh-HEK293T CM and 2 μM RA plus P150 or P450 derived from HEK293T CM was also used as control. An aliquot of the Shh containing pools was used for estimation of Shh in each fraction by western blotting and densitometry. After 3 days in neuronal differentiation medium, the EBs were disaggregated using trypsin and the single cell suspension was plated on 0.1% gelatin coated coverslip dishes and cultured overnight in neuronal maintenance medium for attachment and spreading to facilitate immuno-staining. Primary antibodies used for immunostaining include HNF3β (Goat, Santa Cruz, 1:50), Olig2 (Rabbit, Millipore, 1:50). Secondary antibodies Donkey anti-Goat (A488, 1:250, Molecular Probes) and Donkey anti-Rabbit (A568, 1:250, Molecular Probes).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
