mTeSR®1 cultures show consistent expansion


mTeSR®1 cultures show consistent expansion
H1 and H9 hESCs were expanded in mTeSR®1 for 19 and 18 passages respectively. Cultures show consistent expansion at each passage.


Morphology of hESCs and hiPSCs cultured in mTeSR®1


Morphology of hESCs and hiPSCs cultured in mTeSR®1
H1 hESCs grow as colonies with (A) defined edges and (B) high nucleus to cytoplasm ratio. hiPSC lines ( C) iPSC(IMR90)-3 and (D) MSC-iPSC1 maintained in mTeSR®1 show similar morphological characteristics. hiPSC photographs courtesy of M. O'Connor and C. Eaves, The Vancouver Human Embryonic Stem Cell Core Facility


Human embryonic stem cells cultured in mTeSR®1 retain normal karyotype following long-term passage


Human embryonic stem cells cultured in mTeSR®1 retain normal karyotype following long-term passage
Chromosomal analysis of H1 hESCs cultured in mTeSR®1 for 48 passages shows that normal karyotype is retained during long-term passaging. Data from Dr. T Ludwig, WiCell Research Institute


Human embryonic stem cell cultures in mTeSR®1 are pluripotent


Human embryonic stem cell cultures in mTeSR®1 are pluripotent
H9 hESCs were cultured for 6 passages in mTeSR®1 then injected subcutaneously into immunocompromised mice. The resulting teratoma contained cell types from all 3 germ layers. Representative tissue types are shown.


Human embryonic stem cells cultured in mTeSR®1 express high levels of pluripotent markers and low levels of differentiation markers


Human embryonic stem cells cultured in either mTeSR®1 or TeSR™2 express high levels of pluripotent markers and low levels of differentiation markers
Flow cytometric analysis of H9 hESCs maintained in mTeSR®1 for 17 passages.
