Nucleofection Experiments
Human embryonic stem cells (H1, H9 lines) were nucleofected with siRNAs against beta-2-microglobulin (beta2M), Nanog, Oct4 and Sox2. Three additional siRNAs targeting Sox2 were also used to verify the phenotype and eliminate the possibility of off-tartget effects. In initial experiments, each siRNA was co-transfected with pmaxGFP vector in a ratio of 5:1 to identify transfected cells and determine morphology.
