Description
General description
EMD Millipore’s Simplicon® OKSG-cMycTagRFP RNA is a safe and efficient method to generate integration free, virus-free human iPS cell using a single transfection step of self-replicating synthetic RNA for Oct4, Klf4, Sox2, Glis1 and c-Myc along with a red fluorescent protein (TagRFP).
Application
Advantages of the Simplicon OKSG-cMyc TagRFP RNA:
• Integration-free, footprint-free iPSCs generation. No risk of genomic integration.
• Safe, virus-free, synthetic polycistronic RNA replicon (all five reprogramming factors in a single RNA strand)
• TagRFP reporter gene construct embedded in the RNA replicon that allows visualization and quantification of the transfection efficiency of the Simplicon RNA.
• Only one single transfection required. The RNA replicon is able to self-replicate, eliminating the need for additional daily transfections of multiple individual mRNAs over a 14-day period.
• Efficient and rapid reprogramming.
• No screening required to ensure the absence of viral remnants.
• Controlled elimination of synthetic VEE RNA replicon by the removal of B18R protein.
• Validated for reprogramming in feeder-free and feeder-based culture conditions.
• The OKSG-cMyc transgenes are especially useful for iPSCs generation from somatic cells that are more difficult to reprogram (i.e. slower proliferating cells or aged somatic cells) while the TagRFP provides a rapid assessment of transfection efficiency. Presence of the TagRFP transgene also allows for optimization of the transfection conditions in hard- to- transfect somatic or primary cells.
