Data Figures

Figure 1. Definitive Endoderm Differentiation is Efficient Across Multiple ES and iPS Cell Lines Maintained in Either mTeSR™1 or TeSR™-E8™ Maintenance Media
Quantitative analysis of definitive endoderm formation in multiple hES (H1 and H9) and hiPS (WLS-4D1 and STiPS-M001) lines as measured by co-expression of CXCR4 and SOX17. Cells maintained in mTeSR™1 or TeSR™-E8™ were differentiated using the STEMdiff™ Definitive Endoderm Kit or the STEMdiff™ Definitive Endoderm Kit (TeSR™-E8™-Optimized), respectively. Data are expressed as the mean percentage of cells expressing both markers. Error bars indicate SEM.
