Product Overview
Stemgent mRNA Reprogramming Factors Set: hOKSML contains mRNA encoding Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, c-Myc, Lin-28, and nuclear GFP (nGFP). These in vitro transcribed mRNAs incorporate both pseudouridine and 5-methylcytidine-modified nucleotides to minimize the cellular interferon response to single stranded RNA.1,2Repeated transfection of mRNA encoding Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, c-Myc and Lin-28 has been shown to reprogram human fibroblasts.2 nGFP mRNA is included for use as a positive control for RNA transfection during the cellular reprogramming process.
Advantages
- Faster reprogramming, colonies emerge as early as 16 days
- Stoichiometric control of individual reprogramming factors
- Eliminates need for backend screening of viral systems
- Validated protocol using normal and diseased cells

某些iPS研究领域,例如iPS临床研究、ZL应用等,对iPS细胞的安全性提出了极高的要求。使用Stemgent® MicroRNA-Enhanced mRNA Reprogramming System重编程靶细胞,无需担心构建的iPS细胞系可能含有病毒载体残留,亦无需担心无关的基因整合进宿主基因组,是目前适用于临床研究及ZL的最理想选择。安全 Safe而以仙台病毒(Sendai Virus)为载体的iPS重编程手段,其病毒基因组虽然不会整合进宿主染色体,仙台病毒本身也不具备复制能力,但是为了构建真正意义上的virus-free的iPS细胞系,通常需要经过一个10-20代、耗时费力的筛选过程,以确保ZZ得到的iPS细胞系无病毒载体残留。以慢病毒(Lentivirus)体的iPS重编程手段,病毒基因组能够整合进宿主基因组,会给后续的iPS细胞分析带来干扰。
高性价比 Cost Effective 以仙台病毒为载体的iPS重编程试剂盒非常昂贵,综合重编程效率、时间及劳动力成本、安全性等多重考虑,Stemgent® MicroRNA-Enhanced mRNA Reprogramming System无疑是性价比的上乘之选。
