General description

Product Source: Human cortical brain tissue
ReNcell CX is an immortalized human neural progenitor cell line with the ability to readily differentiate into neurons and glial cells. ReNcell CX was derived from the cortical region of human fetal brain. Immortalized by retroviral transduction with the c-myc oncogene, this cell line grows rapidly as a monolayer on laminin with a doubling time of 20-30 hours. Karyotype analyses indicate that the ReNcell CX retains a normal diploid karyotype in culture even after prolonged passage (>45 passages). ReNcell CX was developed by the ReNeuron Group plc, a biotech company that specializes in using human somatic stem cells for therapeutics. ReNcell CX may be used for a variety of research applications such as studies of neurotoxicity, neurogenesis, electrophysiology, neurotransmitter and receptor functions. ReNcell CX cells have been obtained in a legal and ethical manner, compliant with current local informed consent procedures.

Components

> 1x106 viable ReNcell CX cells

Quality

Each lot of ReNcell CX cells has been validated for high level of expression of Nestin and Sox 2 and for their self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capacities (please refer to datasheet figures). Cells also display normal karyotype as assessed by chromosome spread and tested negative for mycoplasma. Maternal blood has been screened for HIV, HTLV, Hepatitis B and C.

Storage and Stability

When stored at the recommended storage conditions (liquid nitrogen), ReNcell CX cells are stable up to the expiration date. Do not expose to elevated temperatures. Discard any remaining reagents after the expiration date. We recommend that the cells be used within ten passages.
