Abstract
Mouse somatic cell reprogramming using Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc (OSKM) induces formation of two stem cell types: induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and induced extraembryonic endoderm stem (iXEN) cells. Since both stem cells types routinely arise alongside one another during reprogramming, it is critical to distinguish between both cell types to ensure that the desired cell population is selected and analyzed. This chapter details, from start to finish, how to reprogram mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) using retrovirus and how to distinguish between iXEN and iPS cells at the colony and single-cell levels.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
