Application

These products provide unique and versatile tools for the study of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as Alzheimer′s disease (AD), Parkinson′s disease (PD), autism, schizophrenia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as well as for drug screening and toxicology applications in the neural space.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Control line, derived from integration free made iPSC line, mature astrocytes

Features and Benefits

This product contains cryo-preserved, pre-differentiated astrocytes derived from a footprint-free, karyotype normal human iPSC line. It was designed for customers to generate mature astrocytes using the optimized maturation medium and supplements (AST1050, AST1051 sold separately). Mature astrocytes can be obtained within 17 days. Shortly after seeding and recovery, the cells proliferate and need to be passaged a minimum of two times. In general, at 17 days post-seeding, the cell population will contain ≥80% Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) positive astrocytes and ≤15% Tuj-1 positive neurons (neuronal class III β-tubulin).

Preparation Note

The cells need to be passaged a minimum of two times. See technical bulletin for additional details.
User must also purchase Astrocyte Maturation Medium, AST1050 (50mL) or AST1051 (250mL). Sold separately.
