Fig 6. (A-F) qRT-PCR for embryonic stem cell (ESC) pluripotent genomic markers in cells derived from the WJ, PV, SA, AM and MC. Cells derived
from WJ expressed significantly greater levels of the pluripotency genes OCT1, OCT4A, OCT4B, NANOG and SOX2 compared to cells from SA, AM and
MC. (*p<0.05). (G-H) Cells from SA, AM and MC showed significantly greater levels of expression of the fibroblast-related genes FAP and FSP compared to
WJ and PV (*p<0.05).
