2. Figure 1
Schematic presentation of the experimental procedure. Human amniotic fluid cells were cultivated in F-10 nutrient mixture medium, followed by cultivation in mesenchymal differentiation medium containing epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor BB and by cultivation in epithelial differentiation medium containing fibroblast growth factor 4 and hepatocyte growth factor.

3. Figure 2
Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction gene expression analyses in human amniotic fluid cells, cultivated in nutrient mixture medium (HAFC), cultivated in mesenchymal differentiation medium (mesench. diff.) and in epithelial differentiation medium (epithel. diff.). Two sets of representative amniotic fluid cell examples are shown for each gene. For the negative controls, water was used instead of cDNA. For each gene, cells were characterized for use as positive controls due to a significantly detectable specific mRNA expression (cells used are indicated in parentheses).
