DescriptionSimplicon® Reprogramming RNA (OKSG)
Background InformationVarious methods utilizing viruses, DNA, RNA, miRNA and protein have been developed to generate integration-free induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Disadvantages to existing methods include: (1) low reprogramming efficiency (i.e. DNA and protein), (2) a lengthy requirement for negative selection and subcloing steps to remove persistent traces of the virus (i.e. Sendai virus)1 and (3) for daily transfections of four individual in vitro generated mRNAs over a 14 day period (i.e. mRNA based)2.

EMD Millipore’s Simplicon® RNA Reprogramming Kit (OKSG) is a safe and efficient method to generate integration free, virus-free human iPS cell using a single transfection step. The technology is based upon a positive strand, single-stranded RNA species derived from non-infectious (non-packaging), self-replicating Venezuelian equine encephalitis (VEE) virus3. The Simplicon RNA replicon is a synthetic in vitro transcribed RNA expressing all four reprogramming factors (OKS-iG; Oct4, Klf4, Sox2 and Glis1) in a polycistronic transcript that is able to self-replicate for a limited number of cell divisions.

Applications
ApplicationEMD Millipore’s Simplicon® RNA Reprogramming Kit 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, and Glis1.
Application NotesAdvantages of the Simplicon® RNA Reprogramming Kit:

• Integration-free, footprint-free iPS cells. No risk of genomic integration
• Safe, virus free, synthetic polycistronic RNA replicon (all four reprogramming factors in 1 RNA strand)
•Only 1-day transfection required. The RNA replicon is able to self-replicate, elliminating the need for laborious daily transfection of multiple individual mRNAs over a 14 day period.
• Efficient and rapid reprogramming.
• No screening required to ensure viral remnants are not present.
• Controlled elimination of synthetic RNA replicon by removal of B18R protein.
• Validated for reprogramming in feeder-based and feeder-free culture conditions.

Product Usage Statements
Quality AssuranceTested to confirm the generation of iPS cells from p6 human foreskin fibroblasts. Other cell types have not been tested and thus similar results can not be guaranteed.
Usage Statement
  • Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
Storage and Shipping Information
Storage ConditionsVEE-OKS-iG and B18R RNAs: Stable for 4 months from date of receipt when stored appropriately at -80°C. For best recovery, quick-spin the vial prior to opening. Thaw on ice. While on ice, aliquot into sterile, nuclease-free eppendorf tubes and store at -80°C. Limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Use in a sterile RNAse-free environment.
