Generation of B cell derived iPSC (BiPSC). (a) Time schedule and protocol of BiPSC generation. (b) Colony formation of a representative BiPSC13 (x200). (c) Teratoma derived from human BiPSC13 (x4). Nine weeks after the injection of BiPSC13, teratomas were dissected from bulging lower abdomen. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of the teratoma. (A) Nerve tissue (ectoderm), (B) Cartilage tissue (mesoderm), (C) Bone tissue (mesoderm), (D) Connective tissue (mesoderm) and endodermal epithelial tissues with a lumen structure (Arrow head), and ectodermal epithelial tissue consisting of ependymal cell-like cells (Double arrow heads). (d) Monoclonal VDJ rearrangements of the IgH gene (Arrows) in BiPSC13 detected using PCR. (e) Normal G-banding karyotype of BiPSC13.
