Trilineage Differentiation Assay results - Phase contrast images

Representative images of Quick-Trilineage™ Differentiation - SeV cell culture plated with 1.6 x 105 cells on days 1, 2, 3, and 6 post-differentiation (scale bars = 100 μm).

Trilineage Differentiation Assay results - qPCR

Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of expression levels of genes AFP, ALB, NCAM1, ND1, and MYL1 were examined. The graph shows gene expression in Quick-Trilineage™ Differentiation - SeV culture (1.6 x 105 cells plated) on day 6 post-differentiation.The relative gene expression is normalized to phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), and then calculated as a fold induction relative to undifferentiated hPSCs as a control. Error bars show standard deviation.

Trilineage Differentiation Assay results - RNA-seq

(A) Gene expression profiles of human iPSCs and Quick-Trilineage™ Differentiation - SeV Culture on day 6 were compared and the results are shown as scatter plots. The horizontal axis indicates the expression levels of genes in human iPSCs (obtained from the CIRM hPSC Repository for Medical Research: CW50065), whereas the vertical axis indicates the expression levels of genes in Quick-Trilineage™ Differentiation - SeV Culture on day 6. The levels of gene expression are shown based on transcripts per million (TPM) in the log10 scale. Red and green dots represent upregulated and downregulated genes (FDR<0.05), respectively, relative to their levels in human iPSCs. (B) TPM values in the log10 scale of representative genes from three germ layers in human iPSCs and Quick-Trilineage™ Differentiation - SeV Culture on day 6.

Assay Kits

Our Quick-Trilineage™ Differentiation Kit allows researchers to quickly, easily, and efficiently differentiate their iPS or ES cell line of choice into cells of three germ layers. The kits utilize temperature sensitive Sendai virus to deliver our proprietary cocktail of transcription factors that induce differentiation without leaving a genetic footprint.
