iNeu™ Human Sensory Neuron Progenitors (Male)

Description

Creative Biolabs Human iPSC-Sensory Neuron Progenitors are derived from integration-free iPSCs and have been differentiated to neurons using small molecules. We offer a fully optimized cell culture system including tailored Sensory Maintenance Medium and coating reagents to promote the viability and maturation of sensory neurons for endpoint assays on glass or plastic.

Our iPSC-derived sensory neurons express several voltage-gated sodium ion channels and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels that play a key role in nociception. These include sodium ion channels Nav1.7 and the DRG-specific, TTX-resistant channels, Nav1.8 and Nav1.9 as well as the temperature-sensitive, TRPV1 and TRPM8, and TRPA1, a sensor of pungency, bitterness and cold.

Creative Biolabs iPSC-Derived Sensory Neuron Progenitors are available in large batch sizes for reliable and consistent results in high-throughput screening assays. The cells are also suitable for investigating disorders of the peripheral nervous system and chronic pain as well as drug targets for pain relief.

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.

Shipping

Dry ice

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.
