Classification | Test | Results | Data |
---|---|---|---|
Morphology | Phase-contrast imaging | Typical primed pluripotent human stem cell morphology | Figure 2C, Top |
Karyotype | G-banding | 46, XX | Figure 2C, Bottom |
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 | Figure 2D, 2E |
 | Qualitative analysis (Immunocytochemistry) | Positive for the pluripotency markers: OCT4, NANOG, and SOX2 | Figure 2F |
Genetic identity | STR profiling | 24 loci tested, all matched between donor EPCs and derived iPSC lines | Additional file 4: Fig. S2A |
Verification of the absence of episomal vectors | PCR analysis | The five episomal DNA plasmids were undetected after 12 passages | Additional file 4: Fig. S2B |
Mycoplasma testing | RT-qPCR | Negative | Additional file 4: Fig. S2C |
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 | Figure 3A, 3B |
HLA typing | WGS | Homozygous at class I loci A, B, C, and class II loci DQB1 and DRB1, with only DPB1 being heterozygous | Figure 1 |
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 | Additional file 8: Table S3 Table 4 |
