Access a highly defined, scalable, and consistent source of human central nervous system (CNS) neurons at Abcam. We are introducing ioNEURONS/glut, human-induced glutamatergic neurons cells through our partnership with Bit Bio, providing you with a high-quality human model for research, drug development and high-throughput screening. ioNEURONS/glut cells have been reprogrammed from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) using a precise reprogramming technology: opti-ox1 (optimized inducible overexpression).
Optimized inducible overexpression (opti-ox) technology
The widespread use of hiPSC-derived, mature cell types has been restricted by complex and suboptimal differentiation protocols. By applying a cellular reprogramming approach supported by a uniquely engineered genetic switch, opti-ox, these restrictions have been largely overcome.
This proprietary technology enables homogeneous and synchronous differentiation of entire hiPSC cultures through tightly controlled expression of selected transcription factors. Opti-ox cellular reprogramming enables the consistent manufacture of homogenous and mature hiPSCs derived functional cells within days, offering access to the highest quality cellular models with simple protocols.
ioNEURONS/glut cells provide you with:
Consistency: Batch-to-batch reproducibility and homogeneity create a stable human model for excitatory neuronal activity and disease.
Speed: Ready for experimentation as early as two days post revival and allow the formation of functional neuronal networks at 17 days.
Scalability: Industrial scale quantities allow the cells to be used in a range of applications, from research to screening purposes.
Ease of Use: Cells arrive programmed to rapidly mature upon revival with only one medium required in a two-step protocol.
Our range is constantly expanding, and we will be introducing additional cell types soon.
