A rapidly maturing, consistent and scalable isogenic system to study frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
ioGlutamatergic Neurons MAPT N279K/WT are opti-ox precision reprogrammed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered heterozygous N279K mutation in the MAPT gene encoding the tau protein.
The disease model cells show a FTD disease-related phenotype, indicated by hyperphosphorylation of tau compared to the isogenic control.
These cells are part of a range that includes a homozygous MAPT N279K mutation, a homozygous MAPT P301S mutation and a heterozygous MAPT P301S mutation. When paired with the genetically matched (isogenic) 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.
Confidently investigate your phenotype of interest across multiple clones with our disease model clone panel. Detailed characterisation data (below) and bulk RNA sequencing data (upon request) help you select specific clones if required.
per vial
A maximum number of 20 vials applies. If you would like to order more than 20 vials, please contact us at orders@bit.bio.
Disease related phenotype
High content ICC image analysis shows hyperphosphorylation of tau compared to the wild-type control.
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.
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.
