Human Cortical GABAergic Neurons (iPSC-derived, Normal)

Product Description

Excitation and inhibition are the two basic interactions between neurons, which utilize glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as the major neurotransmitters for excitatory and inhibitory signals, respectively. Abnormal GABAergic neuron function has been associated with multiple neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.

iXCells™ Cortical GABAergic Neurons show high neuronal purity (>90% Tuj1 positive cells) and express typical marker GABA (Figure 1 and Figure 2) after culturing in the Cortical Neuron Maintenance Medium (Cat# MD-0093) for 5 days.

iXCells also provide customized differentiation service with your own iPS cell lines.  Please contact us at orders@amogene.com for more details.

Figure 2.  The cryopreserved GABAergic neurons were recovered and seeded on Matrigel-coated 96-well plate and cultured in the Cortical Neuron Maintenance Medium (Cat# MD-0093) for 5 days. The cells were fixed and stained with anti-GABA (red) and anti-TUJ1 (green) antibodies.
