ioGlutamatergic Neurons
MAPT P301S/WT

Human iPSC-derived FTD disease model

A rapidly maturing, consistent and scalable isogenic system to study frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT are opti-ox™ precision reprogrammed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered heterozygous P301S mutation in the MAPT gene encoding the tau protein.

These cells are part of a range that includes a homozygous MAPT P301S mutation and a heterozygous MAPT N279K mutation. When paired with the genetically matched control, wild type ioGlutamatergic Neurons™, these disease model cells offer a physiologically relevant model to investigate the impact of mutant tau protein on disease progression.

Benchtop benefits

comparison_0

Make True Comparisons

Pair the ioDisease Model Cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons to directly investigate the impact of mutant tau protein on disease.

scalable_0

Scalable

Industrial scale quantities are available with industry-leading seeding densities, and at a price point that allows the cells to be used from research to high throughput screening.

quick_0

Quick

The disease model cells and isogenic control are experiment ready as early as 2 days post revival, and form structural neuronal networks at 11 days.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT express neuron-specific markers comparably to the isogenic control

Immunofluorescent staining on post-revival day 11 demonstrates similar homogenous expression of pan-neuronal proteins MAP2 and TUBB3 (upper panel) and glutamatergic neuron-specific transporter VGLUT2 (lower panel) in ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT compared to the isogenic control. 100X magnification.

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT mature rapidly and form structural neuronal networks over 11 days, when compared to the isogenic control. Day 1 to 11 post thaw; 100X magnification.

Gene expression analysis demonstrates that at day 11, ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT (MAPT P301S/WT) and the isogenic control (WT) lack the expression of pluripotency makers (NANOG and OCT4) whilst robustly expressing pan-neuronal (TUBB3 and SYP) and glutamatergic specific (VGLUT1 and VGLUT2) markers, as well as the glutamate receptor GRIA4. Gene expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR. Data is shown relative to the parental hiPSC control (iPSC Control), normalised to HMBS. Data represents day 11 post-revival samples; n=2 biological replicates.

RT-qPCR analysis demonstrates similar expression level of the MAPT gene in both wild type ioGlutamatergic Neurons (WT) and ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT (MAPT P301S/WT) at day 11 post-revival (n=2 replicates). cDNA samples of the parental iPSC line (iPSC Control) were included as a reference.

Cells arrive ready to plate

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT arrive ready to plate

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT are delivered in a cryopreserved format and are programmed to rapidly mature upon revival in the recommended media. The protocol for the generation of these cells is a three-phase process: Induction, which is carried out at bit.bio (Phase 0), Stabilisation for 4 days (Phase 1), and Maintenance (Phase 2) during which the neurons mature. Phases 1 and 2 after revival of cells are carried out at the customer site.

Industry leading seeding density

Do more with every vial
ioGlutamatergic Neuron MAPT-P301S/WT compatibility with 96 and 384 well plates

ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT P301S/WT cells are compatible with plates ranging from 6 to 384 wells.

The recommended seeding density is 30,000 cells/cm2, compared to up to 500,000 cells/cm2 for other similar products on the market.

This means scientists are able to do more with every vial and expand experimental design within budget without losing out on quality. Resulting in more experimental conditions, more repeats, and more confidence in the data.

One small vial can plate a minimum of 0.7 x 24-well plate, 1 x 96-well plate, or 1.5 x 384-well plate.
