  1. ND not determined, RA retinoic acid.
  2. aPercent of population that is VE-cadherin+ after 8 days differentiation as measured by flow cytometry. Values are mean ± SD of at least two independent differentiations.
  3. bMaximum transendothelial electrical resistance using optimized subculture method (Accutase and subculture density of 1 million cells/cm2). Values are mean ± SD of at least two independent differentiations.
