Alkaline phosphatase activity of the reprogrammed iPSC colonies was tested using an alkaline phosphatase detection kit (Millipore) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Immunocytochemistry was performed to confirm pluripotency marker expression (OCT4, 1 : 200, and TRA-1-81, 1 : 200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). RT-PCR, karyotyping, and hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE staining) of teratoma tissues were performed as previously described [17 (link)].
