Generation and Maintenance of Human iPSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HiPSCs from 3 typically developing individuals (CTR_M1; CTR_M2 and CTR_M3) were generated as previously described as part of EU-AIMS and STEMBANCC EU IMIs [12 , 15 (link)]. Ethical approval for the generation of hiPSCs was approved under the PiNDS study (REC: 13/LO/1218). HiPSCs were grown and maintained in E8 medium (Life Technologies) with E8 supplement (Life Technologies). HiPSCs were passaged by first dissociating attached cells from the plate, by incubating them in Versene (Thermo Fisher) for 4–5 min in 37 °C incubator. Versene helps gently lift edges of iPSC colonies, after which it was replaced with E8 and cells were lifted using a cell lifter. Free-floating cells were re-plated onto fresh geltrex-coated (Thermo Fisher) plates. For maintenance, cells were re-plated at ~ 70% confluency. For starting a new experiment, cells were re-plated at ~ 100% confluency.

Human iPSCs (ATCC-DYS0100) were maintained in self renewal on a layer of Geltrex (Gibco, A14133-01), in Essential 8 Basal Medium (Gibco, A15169-01) supplemented with E8 Supplement (50X, Gibco A15171-01) and penicillin (100 U/ml)/streptomycin (100 μg/ml) (Gibco, 15140-122). All cells were mycoplasma free. iPSCs were dissociated with 0.5 mM EDTA (pH 8.0; Invitrogen, 15575-038) for 3-min incubation to maintain cell clusters. Cerebellar organoids were cultured as previously described (31 (link), 55 (link)) and were electroporated at 35 days of differentiation protocol with pPBase, pPB CAG LSL Venus, pPB CAG LSL Gfi1:FLAG-IRES-GFP, pPB CAG LSL MYC, and either pS100b-cre or pSox2-cre resuspended in buffer 5 (under patent) (9 (link)). For the 24-hour analysis, organoids were electroporated at 35 days of differentiation protocol with pPB CAG LSL Venus and either pS100b-cre or pSox2-cre. Organoids were transferred inside the electroporation cuvettes (2 mm; VWR, ECN 732-1136), and electroporation was performed with the Gene Pulser XcellTM. Twenty-four hours after electroporation or 39 days after electroporation, they were fixed in 4% PFA, cryoprotected in 30% sucrose, and embedded in Frozen Section Compound (Leica, 3801480). Organoids were cryosectioned at 40 μm with Thermo Fisher Scientific HM525 NX cryostat.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
