Pluripotency status

Quantitative analysis (Flow cytometry, RT-qPCR)

Flow Cytometry: 98% OCT4, 96% NANOG, 99% SOX2

RT-qPCR: positive expression for OCT4, NANOG, SOX2, LIN28

Qualitative analysis (Immunocytochemistry)

Positive for the pluripotency markers: OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2

Genetic identity

STR profiling

24 loci tested, all matched between donor EPCs and derived iPSC lines

Verification of the absence of episomal vectors

PCR analysis

The five episomal DNA plasmids were undetected after 12 passages

Multilineage differentiation potential

Directed differentiation

RT-qPCR measurement of expression levels of ectoderm (PAX6 and NESTIN), mesoderm (BRACHYURY and CDX2), and endoderm (SOX17 and GATA4). Immunocytochemistry: Positive for NESTIN, BRACHYURY, and SOX17

HLA typing

WGS

Homozygous at class I loci A, B, C, and class II loci DQB1 and DRB1, with only DPB1 being heterozygous

SV analysis

WGS; Manta + Delly + SURVIVOR

No SVs in iPSC#2; one tandem duplication in iPSC#1

Additional file 5: Fig. S3

SNP analysis

WGS; GATK, Mutect2

No high-impact SNP acquired during cell line establishment; SNPs in genetic background of the donor classified as benign
