EMD Millipore’s Dopaminergic Differentiation Growth Factor Sampler contains a collection of five validated growth factors that are routinely used to induce differentiation of human pluripotent ES/iPS cells to dopaminergic neurons along with a reliable high affinity antibody marker, anti-tyrosine hydrodylase, to aid in quantifying the percentage yields from differentiation experiments.

This Dopaminergic Differentiation Growth Factor Sampler contains five validated growth factors used to induce differentiation of human pluripotent Embryonic stem (ES) & induced pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells to dopaminergic neurons.

Store at -20°C for up to 6 months from date of receipt.

Using the growth factors supplied in this kit a 3-5 fold increase of dopaminergic differention (up to 50-70% TH+ cells) was routinely produced using HES/hips cell derived neural progenitor cells vs. spontaneous neuronal differentiation.
