取り寄せて分析した遠藤解析ではＥＳ9とＴＳ1の割合の混合と結論している。
>FI-SC-specific SNPs were also examined where B6- and 129-derived sequences shared the same nucleotide but FI-SC-derived ones did not. Most of these SNPs matched with the CD1 background of the TSCs used in the experiment and were different from B6 or 129. Gene-by-gene representation (Fig. 4B) and whole-SNP analysis (Fig. 4C) showed that FI-SCs shared TSC-specific SNPs. As the proportion of contaminating TSCs in the FI-SCs was minor, most of the TSC-specific SNPs appeared heterozygous. These results support the view that the RNA-seq data contained transcripts from two major cell populations, with approximately 90% B6 cells having an ESC-like expression pattern and approximately 10% CD1-like cells having a TSC-like pattern. Therefore, the claim in the Obokata et al. paper that FI-SCs contribute to the placenta might have been based in error on contamination by TSCs, which are known to be organ stem cells (Tanaka et al. 1998).
