The overall goal of this culture method is to propagate human induced pluripotent stem cells, or human iPSCs, at a small scale to specifically enable their routine characterization through immunocytochemistry. This protocol from my laboratory pres

Regular characterization of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), to ascertain maintenance of their pluripotent state, is an important step before these cells are used for other applications. Here we describe a method for the small-scale propagation of human iPSCs specifically designed to enable their easy and routine characterization via immunocytochemistry.
