Fig. 2From: High-efficiency derivation of human embryonic stem cell lines using a culture system with minimized trophoblast cell proliferationDerivation of hESCs by MTP. a On day 2 after ICM isolation, prominent ICM clump (arrowheads) surrounded with proliferating TE cells observed. Under feeder-free conditions using either CELLstart or Matrigel, most proliferating TE cells were degenerated on culture day 3 (arrows) while remaining ICM clump was transferred to fresh HFFs for further expansion. b Procedure of hESC derivation by MTP method.
