Figure 7

Quantitative RT-PCR analysis shows differences in expression levels of neural cell lineage-specific genes between three hES cell lines. The Y-axis plots the fold change for each cell line when compared to its own undifferentiated cells (Day 0). (A) shows a comparison of expression levels of the neural progenitor-specific genes at days 7, 14 and 21 of differentiation. The I3 and I6 cells exhibited higher levels of Nestin and Musashi 1 gene expression than BG01V cells. (B) shows a comparison of the expression levels of the neuronal (MAP2)- and glial (S100B)-specific genes at days 7, 14 and 21 of differentiation. Both of the MAP2 and S100B gene expressions were up-regulated in the I3 and I6 cells.
