Product Overview

Sensory neurons play a crucial role in the detection and response to different types of sensory stimuli, such as touch, temperature, and pain. As one of the most significant neuronal subtypes in the human peripheral nervous system, they form neuronal-glial networks that are responsible for a variety of motor and sensory mediated functions [1]. Dysfunction of sensory neurons can lead to various neurological disorders such as pain, multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and problems with mechano- or temperature perception  [2]. Understanding the biology of iPSC-derived sensory neurons can help with new treatments for these disorders, as well as improve our understanding of normal sensory function [3].

iXCells Biotechnologies is proud to provide fully differentiated and functional human iPSC-derived human sensory neurons that display typical neuronal morphology and express key markers e.g., Peripherin, BRN3A (Figure 1) when cultured in the Human Sensory Neuron Maintenance Medium (Cat# MD-0114-100ML). In addition, our iPSC-derived sensory neurons can also be co-cultured with glia or other cell types for drug screening platforms.

Figure 2. Gene expression values for NTRK1 (TRKA), TRPV1, SCN9A (Nav1.7) and SCN10A (Nav1.8) from 3 weeks post-thaw sensory neurons and control (iPSC-derived Astrocytes). Results are graphed as mean ± SEMs.

(A) Example raster plot showing spikes (black lines) and network bursts (pink lines) at different temperatures in the MEA for sensory neurons grown for 2 weeks.  (B) The electrical parameters were measured in the MEA over different temperatures and the results are graphed as mean ± SEM for mean firing rate.

Datasheet & Culture Protocol

  • Fully Differentiated Sensory Neurons: Our iPSC-derived sensory neurons are delivered in cryogenized vials fully differentiated and are ready for downstream applications within a few days.​
  • Expression of Relevant Markers: These pure sensory neurons express key markers including peripherin and BRN3A, confirming their peripheral neuron identity and maturity. Moreover, they express key ion channels for their functionality, such as NaV1.8 and TRPV1.​
  • Functionally Validated: Our sensory neurons demonstrate spontaneous electrophysiological activity as assessed by Multi-Electrode Array (MEA), and this activity is modulated by differences in temperature.
  • Wide Compatibility with Cell-Based Assays: iXCells sensory neurons are compatible with a diverse range of cell-based assays, including drug and/or ASOs screening, neurite outgrowth, and co-culture experiments with glial cells such as astrocytes and/or Schwann cells.
