Popis: The pluripotency of human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) cannot be tested strictly in a similar way as we can do for the mouse ones because of ethical restrictions. One common and initial approach to prove the pluripotency of an established human iPSC line is to demonstrate expression of a set of established surface and intracellular pluripotency markers. This chapter provides procedures of immunocytochemistry of the established HiPSC lines for a set of the signature intracellular pluripotency proteins, OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, and LIN28. We also describe cell phenotyping by flow cytometry for the five established human pluripotency surface markers, SSEA3, SSEA4, TRA-1-60, TRA-1-81, and TRA2-49 (ALP). Numbers of ALP
