The blots were probed with Anti-Pax6 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # 42-6600, 1-2 µg/mL) and detected by chemiluminescence using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (Product # G-21234, 1:5000 dilution). A ~ 48 kDa band corresponding to Pax6 was observed across cell lines tested except K562. Known quantity of protein samples were electrophoresed using Novex® NuPAGE® 12 % Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0342BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002) and Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (Product # LC5800). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane with iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The membrane was probed with the relevant primary and secondary Antibody following blocking with 5 % skimmed milk. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce™ ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Product # 32106).

- Knockdown of Pax6 was achieved by transfecting HeLa cells with Pax6 specific siRNAs (Silencer® select Product # s10067 and Product # s10069). Western blot analysis (Fig a) was performed using nuclear enriched cell lysates from the Pax6 knock down cells (lane 3), non-specific scrambled siRNA transfected cells (lane 2) and untransfected cells (lane 1). The blots were probed with Anti-Pax6 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # 42-6600, 1-2 µg/mL) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (Product # G-21234, 1:5000 dilution). Densitometric analysis of this western blot is shown in histogram (Fig b). Loss of signal upon siRNA mediated knock down confirms that antibody is specific to Pax6.

The data are presented as the means +- SEM [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com ]

- Expressions of neural progenitor markers Pax6 and Nestin were reduced in differentiated IPO13 - / - cells. IPO13 +/+ and IPO13 - / - mESCs were induced to differentiate as in Figure 1 . ( a ) RNA was extracted from IPO13 +/+ and IPO13 - / - mESC at differentiations D0 and D10. Transcript levels were assessed using SensiMix SYBR Green. Results for gene expression were normalised to the expression of housekeeping genes Sdha , Tbp , and 18s . Data were relativised to IPO13 +/+ D0 expression values. Results represent the mean +- SEM ( n = 7, where each cDNA sample was analysed in duplicate). p values as per Figure 1 d. ( b ). Representative images of Oct4, Nestin, and Pax6 immunostaining from differentiation D0 and D10 in IPO13 +/+ and IPO13 - / - cells. Scale bars (10 mum) are displayed on the top left image and applied to every two columns.

- Decreased Pax6 nuclear accumulation in D10 IPO13 - / - cells results in reduced Pax6 transcriptional activity. ( a ). Representative images of Pax6 immunostaining at D10 in IPO13 +/+ and IPO13 - / - cells. Scale bar = 10 mum. ( b ). Quantitative analysis of Pax6 localisation was carried out using the ImageJ software on images, such as those in ( a ) to determine the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio (Fn/c). Data represent the mean +- SEM for the nuclear (Fn) and cytoplasmic fluorescence (Fc) above background fluorescence. p values as per Figure 1 d ( c ). RNA was extracted from IPO13 +/+ and IPO13 - / - mESC at D0 and D10. Transcript levels were assessed using the SensiMix SYBR Green. Results for gene expression were normalised to the expression of housekeeping genes Sdha , Tbp , and 18s . Data were relativised to the IPO13 +/+ D0 expression values. Results represent the mean +- SEM ( n = 7, where each cDNA sample was measured in duplicate). p values are as per Figure 1 d.

- Figure 3 Pluripotency Analysis In Vivo: Teratoma Formation of Implanted NEST-iPSCs Immature teratomas derived from control and HOX -transduced NEST-iPSCs were explanted 4-6 weeks after subcutaneous cell injection and further subjected to immunohistochemistry. H&E staining was performed to visualize the different cellular structures. The presence of derivatives of all three germ layers was further confirmed using specific antibodies to alpha-sarcomeric actin (aSACRO) and vimentin (VIM) (mesoderm), beta-catenin (CTNNB) (endoderm), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and PAX6 (ectoderm) in combination with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining. Isotype controls (Ctrl Ab) were used as staining controls. Representative photographs for n = 3 different experiments are shown (n = 8-10 mice per group). Magnification, 40x (H&E) and 100x (DAB). Scale bars, 200 mum (H&E) and 100 mum (DAB).
