Highly Characterized Human iPSCs and NPCs for Downstream Differentiation Applications
Reproducible research with human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) depends on access to thoroughly characterized and quality-controlled cell lines. In this webinar, Drs. Andrew Gaffney and Erin Knock will describe the generation of a standardized induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line. Developed with the upcoming ISSCR Standards Initiative characterization guidelines in mind, this highly characterized line is karyotypically stable, demonstrates trilineage differentiation potential, and expresses undifferentiated cell markers. Further, STEMCELL has developed a highly pure, ready-to-use neural progenitor cell product expressing PAX6 and SOX1 over multiple passages. Dr. Knock will show how these multipotent cells are suitable for customized downstream differentiation to various CNS cell types, such as forebrain neurons, midbrain neurons, and astrocytes. These progenitor cells are the ideal controls for standardizing downstream differentiation protocols, modeling diseases, and developing assays.
