Interestingly, a small number of GFP-positive cells in teratomas formed by MES-FT and iPS-FT (MES-ST, GFP-positive cells isolated from MES-FT-derived teratomas; iPS-ST, GFP-positive cells obtained from teratomas formed by iPS-FT) were still pluripotent, as shown by alkaline phosphatase (AP) staining, immunofluorescent staining and PCR. This evidence concerns the gene DHCR7-DT and teratoma.
