Immunophenotypic profiles of induced pluripotent stem cell colonies and differentiation of embryoid bodies. (a) Following viral transfection of fibroblasts and culture for 2 to 3 weeks in embryonic stem cell culture medium, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) colonies stained positive for the pluripotent markers OCT4, Nanog, SSEA4 and TRA-1-81 respectively. (b) Derived iPSCs have the ability to differentiate into the three germ layers in vitro as shown after in vitro differentiation of embryoid bodies: β-tubulin III (ectoderm marker), nestin (endoderm marker) and smooth muscle actin (SMA; mesoderm marker).
