doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0097821
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Correlation between GFP+ colony number and percentage 12 days post transduction. Each dot represents a single well of the reprogramming experiments. (B) Representative FACS plot for SSEA1/Oct4-GFP at 12 days post-viral transduction. (C, D) Relative reprogramming efficiencies are shown, with the fold changes indicated. (C) Fully reprogrammed efficiency, assessed by the percentage of SSEA1+Oct4-GFP+ cells; (D) Intermediately reprogrammed efficiency, assessed by percentage of SSEA1+Oct4-GFP- cells; Student's t-test (two-tailed) is used for statistics. Error bars, standard error. n = experiments with independent MEFs. Ctrl, wild type or heterozygous littermate controls; TKO, triple knockout of piwi.
