Equipment Required:
|
The Jia publication uses the Amaxa nucleofector system (machine, program and reagents) for 1 of 3 transfections performed in the protocol. This may be useful to customers but may not be critical if they can achieve sufficient transfection efficiencies and survival with alternate reagents (will have to be determined and optimised by the end user).
Access to automated cell sorting may also be helpful to customers to sort for GFP positive cells after transfection so as to ultimately calculate the frequency of iPSC generation (iPSC clones/transfected cells).

Advantages:
|
This is a nonviral, nonintegrating vector that can be either transfected or electroporated into cells to allow for expression of the reprogramming factors. The mini-circle plasmid remains episomal in the cell and is eventually lost from the dividing cells. This approach eliminates integration site expression variability and mutagenesis that is a drawback to viral approaches that have been used to date.
Note: STEMcircles™ have not yet been successfully used to reprogram human adult fibroblasts.
