UCLA2 and UCLA1 hESC are cultured as previously described16 (link), briefly the hESCs are cultured in hESC media, which was composed of 20% knockout serum replacement (KSR) (Life Technologies, A3181502), 1x MEM Non-Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) (Fisher Scientific, 25-025-CI), 1x Penicillin/Streptomycin/Glutamine (Thermo Fisher, 10378016), 55 µM 2- Mercaptoethanol (Life Technologies, 21985-023), 10 ng/mL recombinant human FGF basic (Proteintech, HZ1285), and 50 ng/mL primocin (InvivoGen, ant-pm-2) in DMEM/F12 media (GIBCO, 11330-032). The primed hESCs were split by 1 mg/ml Collagenase type IV (GIBCO, 17104-019) and maintained routinely on mitomycin C (MMC)-inactivated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). The hESCs were split every 7 days using Collagenase type IV (GIBCO, 17104-019). HEK293 cells were acquired from ATCC (Cat# CRL-3216). No lines used in this study belong to the International Cell Line Authentication Committee register of misidentified cell lines.
