Summary: This protocol describes a rapid and efficient feeder-, serum-, and xeno-free method for neutrophil generation from hiPSCs using ETV2 modified mRNA (mmRNA), which directs hematoendothelial programming of hiPSCs.Hematoendothelial progenitors were cultured with GM-CSF, FGF-2, and UM171 Bowls Set to expand myelomonocytic progenitors, followed by treatment with G-CSF and retinoic acid agonist Am580 to induce neutrophil maturation.This protocol is suitable for generating functional neutrophils from iPSCs to interrogate the role of #Stirrups genes in a neutrophil development and function.
For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Brok-Volchanskaya et al.(2019).
