Human iPSC Derived Neural Progenitors

EMD Millipore′s Human IPSC Derived Neural Progenitors (NPCs) are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells generated using STEMCCA Cre-Excisable Constitutive Polycistronic (OKSM) lentivirus. The viral transgenes have been removed using cell permeable TAT-Cre recombinase (Cat. No. SCR508) with excision confirmed by quantitative PCR of genomic DNA extracted from human iPSC cells.

These hiPSC-derived NPCs proliferate as an adherent cell monolayer with greater than 80% expression of the appropriate neural stem cell markers, including Nestin and Sox-2. Cells are provided at passage 3 and can be expanded for a further three to five passages with ENStem-A Neural Expansion Medium (Cat. No. SCM004). Human NPCs can be further differentiated to terminal neurons by the use of the Human ES/iPS Neuronal Differentiation Medium (Cat. No. SCM111) or ENStem-A Neuronal Differentiation Medium (Cat. No. SCM017). Differentiation leads to greater than 80-90% of the cells expressing mostly neuronal markers, bIII-tubulin and MAP2.

Human iPSC-derived NPCs can be used for a variety of research applications including studies of neurotoxicity, co-culture applications and screening for molecules that induce or inhibit preferential differentiation to mature neurons.

1) 1 x 10⁶ viable Human iPSC Derived Neural Progenitors: (Catalog No. SCC035). Store in liquid nitrogen.

Human iPSC-Derived Neural Progenitors Cells (Cat. No. SCC035) should be stored in liquid nitrogen immediately after receiving. Temperature fluctuations will impair the recovery of healthy cells. Do not thaw the human cells until you are ready to do the assay of choice.
