Description
Human iPSC-Derived Neural Stem Cells that have been genetically edited using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to introduce the V337M mutation (GTG>ATG) in the MAPT gene. This line is heterozygous for the V337M mutation where 1 allele has the mutation and the other allele is wild type. Click on the product images to see the data and further details.
The V337M mutation in MAPT has been implicated in frontotemporal dementia and may have a role in Alzheimer's disease. The mutation leads to accelerated aggregation of MAPT/tau protein into filament structures (Nacharaju et al., 1999) and makes the MAPT/tau protein more susceptible to hyperphosphorylation (Alonso et al., 2004).

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I switch from differentiation media to Maintenance media?
For Axols iPSC derived NSCs, Only move into maintenance media when at least 80% of your culture has differentiated into cortical neurons.
I want to passage and expand the iPSC derrived Neural stem cells, what coating shall I use?
Always plate onto Surebond (ax0041) if you intend to detach the cells for continued expansion
I want to carry out imaging/confocal microscopy, how should I plate the cells?
Plate the cells at a low density (recommend 70k/cm2) on Readyset + Surebond (ax0052)
I am not sure what coating I should use for iPSC derrive Neural stem cells?
Surebond-XF - Xeno-free coating reagent needed for endpoint assays on plastic, this is the easiest method of coating, with no wash steps.
Surebond + Readyset - Coating reagent needed for endpoint assays on glass
Surebond- Coating reagent needed when passaging of NSCs is required
