The MSC-induced CECs from passage 2 or 3 were harvested, washed twice with PBS, incubated for 10 min with 2 mL
TrypLE (Invitrogen) at 37 °C, and collected. Cells were then stained for MSC or CEC markers using the
Miltenyi Human MSC Phenotyping Kit (130-125-285; Miltenyi Biotec Ltd., Auburn, CA, USA) and antibodies against CD29 and CD166. 5 µL of each antibody cocktail was added at room temperature for 30 min. The cells were then washed twice by adding 3 mL flow cytometry buffer and centrifuging at 300×
g for 10 min. The cells were then run through a Becton Dickinson FACSCanto I flow cytometer and the flow cytometry plots were analyzed using FACSDiva software. Antibodies used to detect CD29 and CD166 were as follows: PE Mouse Anti-Human CD166 (559263), APC Mouse Anti-Human CD29 (559883),
PE mouse IgG1, K Isotype control (555749),
APC mouse IgG1, K Isotype control (555751; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).
