Description
Human iPSC-Derived Neural Stem Cells that have been genetically edited using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to introduce the R406W mutation (CGG>TGG) into the MAPT gene. This line is heterozygous for the R406W mutation where one allele contains the mutation and the other allele is wild type at the locus.
The R406W mutation in MAPT has been implicated in familial frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism (Hutton et al., 1998; Behnam et al., 2015) and has been seen in patients with clinical presentation resembling Alzheimer's disease (Rademakers et al., 2003; Lindquist et al., 2008). The R406W mutation reduces the ability of MAPT/tau to bind to microtubules in vitro (Hong et al., 1998).

Mycoplasma Testing
The cell line has been screened using the luciferase based mycoplasma detection kit to confirm the absence of mycoplasma species.
Sterility Testing
Sterility testing was performed in accordance with USP and EP regulations. All of our sterility testing is performed in an isolator or clean room environments. The cell line has been screened using the membrane filtration testing methods to confirm the absence of aerobic, anaerobic and fungi microorganisms.
Genetic Stability Testing
Cell genetic stability study was perfomed under ICH guidelines. We provide guidance on the appropriate testing program upon your requirements.

Storage
Liquid nitrogen
Handling Advice
Frozen cells:Upon receipt, frozen ampoules should be transferred directly to gaseous phase liquid nitrogen without delay, unless they are to be used straight away.
Growing cells: Growing cell cultures should be checked on receipt using an inverted microscope. Immediately check the cell density upon arrival for any obvious defects. If the cell density is too high (more than 80% confluent) subculture the cells (harvest and reseed) immediately.
For detailed instructions on the thawing procedure of frozen cells and the culture of adherent or suspended cells, please feel free to contact us by email or phone.

Research Use Only
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Warnings
Store under recommended storage conditions (liquid nitrogen). Do not expose to high temperature. After expiration, discard all remaining reagents. It is recommended to use cells within ten generations.
Quality Control
Each batch of cells has passed the high-level expression of Nestin and Sox 2 as well as its self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation ability. The cells also showed normal karyotypes, and mycoplasma tests were negative by chromosome spread assessment. The blood of pregnant women has been screened for HIV, HTLV, hepatitis B and C.
