iPSC-Dopaminergic Neurons

For several years, neuroscience research using cell line and animal models of degenerative neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s has been plagued with the lack of translation of results to the human scenario, whether for basic understanding of disease pathology or for screening of targeted drug therapies. The development of the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology and its further differentiation into various post-mitotic somatic cell lineages, especially neuronal lineage cells and dopaminergic neurons, has overcome a major bottleneck by providing biologically relevant in vitro models to screen drugs for neuroprotection and movement-disorder therapy.

ASC’s Human iPSC-derived Dopaminergic Neurons are derived from footprint-free, karyotype normal human iPSCs, ASE-9211 using a straightforward, optimized differentiation protocol, TH positive. We provide also provide high-purity mature dopamine neurons from our female iPSC line.

Advantages of using ASC’s iPSC-derived Dopaminergic Neurons:

  • Dopamine neurons that are positive for dopamine marker
  • Differentiated using footprint-free, integration-free protocols
  • An ideal model for disease modeling, co-culture assays, neuroprotection, and neurotoxicity screening assays

Characterization of the ASE-9742 Dopaminergic Neurons

Figure 1. Immunostaining of the ASE-9742 Dopaminergic Neurons derived from the human iPSC control
line ASE-9211. The dopaminergic neuron precursors (provided separately) were identified by Otx2, Nestin and
Corin (Left, Middle). The mature dopaminergic neurons were identified by TH (Right).
