Three RCS-iPSCs and three control human iPS cell lines were induced toward nephron progenitors as previously described9 (link), with a minor modification. Briefly, human iPSCs were aggregated at 5 × 104 cells in V-bottomed 96-well low-cell-binding plates (Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) using the medium containing 10 μM Y27632 and 0.5 ng/mL human bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4, R&D System). After 24 h (on day 1), the medium was changed to one containing 1 ng/mL human activin A (R&D System) and 20 ng/mL human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2, R&D System). On day 3, the medium was changed to one containing 1 ng/mL human BMP4 and 10 μM CHIR99021 (Wako). On day 9, the medium was changed to one containing 10 ng/mL activin A, 3 ng/mL BMP4, 3 μM CHIR99021, 0.1 μM retinoic acid (Sigma), and 10 μM Y27632. On day 11, the medium was changed to one containing 1 μM CHIR99021, 5 ng/mL human FGF9 (R&D System), and 10 μM Y27632. On day 14, induced aggregates were cultured with NIH3T3 fibroblast expressing Wnt4 cells36 (link) supplied with DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).

Various amounts of phage, Fab, or monoclonal antibody were serially diluted in 0.2% Tween 20/PBS containing 1% BSA, and added to hFGFR3IIIc-coated plates (50 µl at 1 µg/ml) and incubated at room temperature for 2 h. The bound antibodies were detected with an anti-human Fab antibody conjugated with HRP (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA; #109-035-097) in binding assays, or continuously probed with SULFO-TAG-labeled FGFs (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD; # R91AN-1) in blocking assays according to the supplier's instructions. 250 nM NaCl was present in ELISA binding and washing steps, and 10 µg/ml heparin was present in ligand-blocking assays. Human FGF1 (Genway Biotech Inc., San Diego, CA; #GWB-54AEB0), Human FGF9 (R&D Systems; #273-F9).

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.
