(A) Appearance of cells during the process of iPSC induction from BM HSPCs. Bar represents 100 µm. (B) SSEA-1 expression in BM hematopoietic cell-derived iPS cells (BM-derived iPSCs). Representative flow cytometric plots are shown for established BM-derived iPSCs (right) together with those for whole BM (left) and ES cells (center). Note the expression of SSEA-1 in BM-derived iPS cells at levels comparable to those in ES cells and the absence of SSEA-1 expression in whole BM cells.

(A) PCR analysis shows the presence of all iPSC proviruses in each sHSC-iPS clone. H2O: No-template control; Control: Positive control using each vector DNA as template. (B) RT-PCR analysis using specific primer sets to examine expression of the 4 iPSC factors. In each sHSC-iPS clone, transcripts from the endogenous genes are detectable (Endo), while those from the retroviruses are not (Tg). RT (−): No–reverse-transcriptase control; Control: Jurkat cells transduced with each retrovirus vector. Note the near-absence of Tg amplicons in test samples after 35-cycle amplification.

(A) RT-PCR analysis showing ES marker gene expression in sHSC-iPSC clones. H2O: No-template control; ES: ES cells as a positive control; RT (−): No–reverse-transcriptase control. (B) Nanog expression in sHSC-iPSC clones shown by immunostaining. NC: Negative control with isotype control antibodies. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Bar represents 100 µm.

Shown are photomicrographs of histological sections of teratomas derived from sHSC-iPSC clone #9-5. Bar represents 100 µm.

(A) PCR analysis shows the presence of all iPSC factors in each pHPC-iPSC clone. H2O: No-template control; Control: Positive control using each vector DNA as template. (B) RT-PCR analysis using specific primer sets to examine expression of the 4 iPSC factors. In each pHPC-iPSC clone, transcripts from the endogenous genes are detectable (Endo), while those from the retroviruses are not (Tg). RT (−): No–reverse-transcriptase control; Control: Jurkat cells transduced with each retrovirus vector. Note the near-absence of Tg amplicons in test samples after 35-cycle amplification.
