Comparison of Teratoma Formation between Embryonic Stem Cells and Parthenogenetic Embryonic Stem Cells by Molecular Imaging

Figure 5

Differentiation potential between two cell lineages. (a) RT-PCR analysis of the expression of stemness-related genes of EBs from two groups in D6 and D12, which displayed no significant difference. (b) Teratoma formation of pES-RR and ES-RR. Histological analysis of teratoma identifying the presence of derivatives of all three germ layers: neural tissue (ectoderm), vascular tissue (mesoderm), and glandular tissue (endoderm).
