Human iPS Cell Line (Normal)

Product Description

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) are a type of stem cells generated by reprogramming a variety of mature, specialized somatic cells into an embryonic-like pluripotent state. iPSCs exhibit large selfrenewal capability and can differentiate into cells from all three germ layers ^{[1, 2]}. Due to their high differentiation potential, iPSC serves as a
unique cell model for the regenerative medicine. In addition, iPSCs reprogrammed from rare disease carriers can be expanded and differentiated into specific cell types, allowing research with genetically pertinent disease-specific cell models for personalized treatment ^[3]. iPSCs, thus, provide a unique model for studying a variety of processes that occur in early development and become a promising tool in cell therapy of human diseases ^[4].

iXCells Biotechnologies is proud to offer human iPSCs reprogrammed from healthy donor somatic cells (dermal fibroblasts or peripheral blood mononuclear cells) with different race, gender, and age options to choose from. The pertinent donor information is available on the CoA or upon request (info@ixcellsbiotech.com). These iPSCs are established from single clones and expanded in feeder-free conditions. iXCells’ iPSCs demonstrate hESC morphology, express pluripotency markers, have normal karyotype, and are integration free (Figure 1). They are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, fungi, HIV-1, HBV and HCV. More importantly, the iPSCs have been extensively used in differentiation projects to generate various cell types, including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, skeletal muscles, and hepatocytes (Figure 2).

In addition, the iPSC-derived cells from normal or patient origins are also available as separate products. More disease-specific iPSC-derived lines are in development. We also provide custom iPSC generation and iPSC differentiation services to meet your needs.

Figure 1. iXCells human iPS Cell Lines are characterized by immunostaining targeting Oct4, Nanog, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81. Images are also stained with DAPI to show cell nuclei. Scale bar = 100μm.

Figure 2. iXCells human iPS Cell Lines demonstrate a high capacity for differentiation into various cell types, including Neurons, Skeletal Muscles, and Astrocytes. Scale bar = 100μm.
