STEMCCA^™ Lentivirus Reprogramming Kits

EMD Millipore’s STEMCCA lentivirus reprogramming kits make it easier than ever to obtain and work with induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Unlike traditional iPS cell generation which requires simultaneous co-infection by four separate expression vectors, the STEMCCA kits use a single polycistronic lentiviral vector to improve efficiency and reduce the number of viral integrations.

STEMCCA Advantages:

• Efficient: uses a single vector with four transcription factors rather than co-transducing four separate expression vectors
• Minimizes viral integrations: single vector reduces the risks of insertional mutagenesis and viral reactivation
• Excisable: Cre/LoxP-regulated version enables removal of reprogramming transgenes
• Inducible: Dox-inducible version enables enhanced control of viral transgene expression
• Ready to use: convenient, pre-packaged lentiviral particles provided with detailed protocols

• Learn how our STEMCCA lentiviral reprogramming system can be used to efficiently generate iPS cells from 3-4ml of peripheral blood.

FibroGRO Xeno-Free Human Foreskin Fibroblasts (HFF) are derived from normal human foreskin and have been isolated and propagated under xeno-free conditions, proliferating rapidly in FibroGRO LS (low serum) Complete Medium or xeno-free medium. Rapid proliferation of HFF enables efficient reprogramming of the cells to iPS cells. FibroGRO Xeno-Free Human Foreskin Fibroblasts have been tested and validated to generate iPS cells using STEMCCA Constitutive Polycistronic (OKSM) Lentivirus Reprogramming Kit.
