GeneTex, a leading manufacturer of antibodies for research use, is pleased to announce they will be launching several new exciting products in June, including the new Easy-iPSC minicircle DNA vector technology.
Easy-iPSC is a simple non-viral solution for reprogramming terminally differentiated cells into pluripotent stem cells. One simple transfection delivers all four transcription factors required. This specially designed minicircle DNA plasmid is devoid of any bacterial replication sequences that would induce endogenous silencing mechanisms, significantly enhancing the transfection efficiency. The vector includes a GFP reporter to easily identify and facilitate sorting of pluripotent cells.
