Human iPSC-derived Alzheimer's disease model
A rapidly maturing, physiologically relevant, functional system for investigating the role of the APP Swedish mutation in early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). This in vitro disease cell model recapitulates an overall increase in the production of amyloid beta peptides, as observed in AD.
ioGlutamatergic Neurons APP KM670/671NL / WT are opti‑ox deterministically programmed excitatory neurons carrying a genetically engineered heterozygous double mutation in the APP gene encoding amyloid precursor protein.
This disease model is part of an Alzheimer's disease panel of human iPSC-derived cells that can be incorporated into translational research and drug discovery workflows. Two additional clones for the APP KM670/671NL het mutation are available for scientists who wish to repeat their experiments in multiple independent clones, please enquire. All disease models are genetically matched to the wild-type control, ioGlutamatergic Neurons. Additional mutations in the AD panel include homozygous APP KM670/671NL, and heterozygous and homozygous APP V717I and PSEN1 M146L, alongside AD-relevant mutations in ioGABAergic Neurons and ioMicroglia.
