A rapidly maturing, consistent and scalable isogenic system to study Parkinson’s disease (PD).
ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T are opti-ox deterministically programmed glutamatergic neurons carrying a genetically engineered homozygous A53T mutation in the SNCA gene encoding the alpha-synuclein protein.
This disease model is part of a Parkinson’s disease panel of human iPSC-derived cells that can be incorporated into translational research and drug discovery workflows. Two additional clones for the SNCA A53T hom mutation are available for scientists who wish to repeat their experiments in multiple independent clones, please enquire. All disease models are genetically matched to the wild-type control, ioGlutamatergic Neurons. Additional mutations in the PD panel include heterozygous SNCA A53T, het and hom PINK1 Q456X, PRKN R275W and GBA mutations.
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.
Make True Comparisons
Pair the ioDisease Model Cells with the genetically matched wild-type ioGlutamatergic Neurons to directly investigate the effect of the alpha-synuclein mutation on cellular and molecular mechanisms and cell function.
Scalable
With opti-ox technology, we can make billions of consistently programmed cells, surpassing the demands of industrial workflows.
Quick
The disease model cells and wild-type control are experiment ready as early as 2 days post revival, and form structural neuronal networks at 11 days.
ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T express neuron-specific markers comparably to the wild type control
ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T form structural neuronal networks by day 11
ioGlutamatergic Neurons SNCA A53T/A53T demonstrate gene expression of neuronal-specific and glutamatergic-specific markers following deterministic programming
