Product Overview
Description
Oligodendrocytes belong to the family of glial cells in the human central and peripheral nervous system. They are multifunctional cells and are involved in many disabling neurological diseases, including adult-onset demyelinating diseases, leukocyte dystrophy and cerebral palsy.
Creative Biolabs' OPCs are induced oligodendrocyte progenitor cells that are reprogrammed from human fibroblasts using a proprietary reprogramming technology. OPCs cells were cryopreserved at a low passage number. OPCs cells are characterized by standard morphological examination and immunocytochemical methods for known marker proteins (such as O4, PDGFalphaR, NG2 and CNPase), and can be induced to express MBP under the induction of T3 hormone.

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.
