“…iPS-RPE was derived as previously described. 11,12 Briefly, human iPS cells (IMR-90-1;WiCell Research Institute, Madison, WI, USA) were cultured iovs.arvojournals.org j ISSN: 1552-5783 on Matrigel-coated (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) in sixwell plates and maintained in mTeSR1 medium (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). To initiate differentiation, The mTeSR1 medium was replaced with differentiation medium consisting of 10% knockout serum replacement (Life Technologies), 0.1 mM b-mercaptoethanol, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, 2 mM glutamine, and 10 lg/mL gentamicin in DMEM-F12 medium.…”
