ioMotor Neurons TDP-43 M337V/M337V

Human iPSC-derived ALS and FTD disease model

Within days, cells convert to a defined and scalable genetically matched system to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V are opti‑ox deterministically programmed motor neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous M337V mutation in the TARDBP gene, encoding TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP‑43).

ioMotor Neuron + DM timeline-1

ioMotor Neurons TDP-43 M337V/M337V are delivered in a cryopreserved format and are programmed to rapidly mature upon revival in the recommended media. 

ioMotor Neurons TDP-43 M337V/M337V form a homogenous neuronal network by day 4

Brightfield image - ioMotor_TDP43_M337V HOM

ioMotor Neurons TDP-43 M337V/M337V rapidly acquire a motor neuronal phenotype, forming homogenous neuronal networks, without clumping of cells. Compared to the genetically matched wild type control, ioMotor Neurons. Day 1 to 11 post thawing; 100X magnification.

Highly characterised and defined

ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V express motor neuron-specific markers with protein expression highly reminiscent to the genetically matched control

Immunofluorescent staining on post-revival day 11 demonstrates similar homogenous expression of pan-neuronal proteins TUBB3 and MAP2, motor neuron specific markers ISL2 and HB9 and the cholinergic markers VAcHT and VAChT in ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V compared to the genetically matched control, ioMotor Neurons

ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V demonstrate gene expression of neuronal-specific and motor neuron-specific markers following deterministic programming

TDP43 HOM

Gene expression analysis demonstrates that ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V and the genetically matched control (WT) lack the expression of pluripotency makers (NANOG and OCT4), at day 11, whilst robustly expressing pan-neuronal (MAP2), cholinergic (CHAT and VACHT) and motor neuron-specific (MNX1 and ISL2) markers. Gene expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR (data expressed relative to the parental hiPSC control (iPSC Control), normalised to HMBS). Data represents day 11 post-revival samples.

Disease-related TARDBP is expressed in ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V following deterministic programming

TDPHOM GE

Gene expression analysis demonstrates that ioMotor Neurons TDP‑43 M337V/M337V and the genetically matched control (WT) express the TARDBP gene encoding TDP‑43. Gene expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR (data expressed relative to the parental hiPSC control (iPSC Control), normalised to HMBS). Data represents day 11 post-revival samples.

Industry leading seeding density

Do more with every vial

UPDATED ioMotor seeding graphic

The seeding density of our human iPSC-derived ioMotor Neurons and related disease models has been optimised and validated to a recommended seeding density of 30,000 cells/cm². This means scientists can 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.
