GMP & RUO Grade iPSC Gene Editing & Differentiation Services
Use Applied StemCell's (ASC) new GMP facility, comprised of five cleanrooms equipped with cutting-edge technology, to develop the next generation of iPSC-derived therapeutics. We have dedicated cleanrooms for induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CAR-T), T-cell receptor-engineered T-cells (TCR-T), natural killer (NK) cells, CAR-NK cells, and viral vectors. Explore our end-to-end manufacturing service options or optimize your GMP SOP with our GMP master cell bank or high-quality starter options.
GMP & ROU iPSC Gene Editing
Engineer mainstream point mutation and knockout cell lines or safely and efficiently generate large complex knock-in cells for further differentiation and assay development.
Advantages of ASC’s Gene Editing Technology
• TARGATT site-specific knock-in of any gene of interest up to 20kb (iPSC-GMP-TARGATT)
• SSelect for large cargo insertion with double-digit efficiency
• ceBE-X for base editing for knockout and point mutation with zero off-target events
• Optimized CRISPR/Cas9 protocols for high-throughput editing
• GMP and Research Use Only services
Pluripotency is maintained throughout the gene editing process, and medium to high expression levels have been observed.
GMP & ROU iPSC Differentiation
Differentiate normal or genetically modified iPSCs into natural killer (NK) cells, cardiomyocytes, photoreceptor cells, neural progenitor cells (NPCs), astrocytes, and many more cell types. Receive
robust, lineage-committed cells identified by lineage-specific markers that have undergone standard characterization.
Comprehensive Differentiation Service
• Differentiation from healthy or disease iPSC lines: customer cell lines, ASC’s control iPSC lines, or genetically engineered iPSCs
o Off-the-shelf iPSCs: (1) GMP iPSCs (2) GMP Matching iPSCs (For Research Use Only) (3) Knock-in ready TARGATT-iPSCs (Also available for CIRM awardees)
• High-purity cell lines
• Non-integration differentiation protocols
• Co-culture model development
• Cell expansion and banking (24/7 monitoring)
• GMP and Research Use Only Services
The differentiated high-purity cells express high levels of their specific cell markers: (1) NK cells (≥ 80% purity) express CD56 and CD45, (2) cardiomyocytes (≥80% purity) express cTnT, (3) photoreceptor cells (≥90% purity) cells express CRX and NR2E3, (4) NPCs (≥95% purity) express Nestin, and (5) astrocytes (≥95% purity) express GFAP and s100beta.
