Description
Start your retinal research with high-quality, easy-to-use Human iPSC-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) Cells . These cryopreserved RPE cells are derived from highly characterized healthy control human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines SCTi003-A or SCTi004-A. After thawing, these RPE cells can be matured and maintained long-term in culture with STEMdiff™-XF RPE Maturation Medium. After five weeks of maturation, the cells exhibit functional maturity with a high level of RPE characteristic marker expression, as well as pigmented, polygonal morphology, polarization, and the functional ability to phagocytose photoreceptor outer segments. RPE cells are manufactured using the serum-free, animal component-free STEMdiff™-ACF RPE Differentiation Kit . For optimal survival and attachment, thaw and plate cells using STEMdiff™-XF RPE Maturation Medium in combination with STEMdiff™-ACF RPE Plating Supplement.
