Magnetic separation of cells from developing embryoid bodies using magnetite cationic liposomes

Embryoid bodies resemble post-implantation egg-cylinder stage embryos and are used to differentiate embryonic stem cells in vitro. In this study, we enriched mouse vasa homolog-positive germ cells from embryoid bodies after 8 d of differentiation using a magnetic separation method with magnetite cationic liposomes.
