Standardization of the teratoma assay for analysis of pluripotency of human ES cells and biosafety of their differentiated progeny.

Standardization of the teratoma assay for analysis of pluripotency of human ES cells and biosafety of their differentiated progeny.

Teratoma tumor formation is an essential criterion in determining the pluripotency of human pluripotent stem cells. However, currently there is no consistent protocol for assessment of teratoma forming ability. Here we present detailed characterization of a teratoma assay that is based on subcutaneo...
