DescriptionHuman STEMCCA Cre-Excisable Constitutive Polycistronic (OKSM) Lentivirus Reprogramming Kit
OverviewThe Human STEMCCA Cre-Excisable Constitutive Polycistronic (OKSM) Lentivirus Kit contains high titer polycistronic (OKSM) lentivirus and Polybrene transfection reagent that have been validated for the generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells from human foreskin fibroblasts (HFFs). The Cre-excisable STEMCCA vector, comprised of the transcription factors human Oct-4, Klf4, SOX-2, and c-Myc (OKSM) separated by the self-cleaving 2A peptide and IRES sequences, includes flanking LoxP sites that enable Cre-mediated excision of the viral transgenes following reprogramming (Sommer CA, 2009).

The use of a single polycistronic lentiviral vector significantly improves reprogramming efficiencies and reduces the number of viral integrations. Furthermore, the ability to remove the reprogramming vector has been shown to improve the developmental potential of iPS cells and significantly increase their capacity to undergo directed differentiation in vitro (Sommer CA, 2010).

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
  • This product contains genetically modified organisms (GMO). Within the EU GMOs are regulated by Directives 2001/18/EC and 2009/41/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and their national implementation in the member States respectively.

  • 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 ConditionsLentivirus is stable for at least 6 months when stored at -80°C. After first thaw, place immediately on ice and store in working aliquots to avoid further freeze thaws. Avoid freeze thaws as this will result in a decrease in the virus titer. Polybrene transfection reagent is stable for at least 1 year when stored at -20°C.
