Description

Our hiMicroglia are fully differentiated from iPSCs and and ready to use in your assay from Day 1, helping you start experiments faster and streamline your workflow. Generated using a proprietary protocol, the cryopreserved cells recover efficiently after thawing with 85–90% viability and closely resemble native human microglia, exhibiting essential functional characteristics like cytokine release and marker expression. Well-suited for both mono- and co-culture models, these cells provide a reliable and physiologically relevant system for investigating microglial function and neuroimmune interactions.

Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and play essential roles in maintaining neuronal homeostasis, synaptic plasticity, normal brain development and immune surveillance. They are key mediators of inflammatory responses in the CNS and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous neurological disorders, including Alzheimer´s disease, Parkinson´s disease and other neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory conditions. 

trenzyme has developed a production process for microglia from iPSC cells (human iPSC-derived): Our hiMicroglia provide a robust, physiologically relevant in vitro model for studying their diverse functions. Generated from human iPSC using a optimized and highly standardized differentiation protocol, the cells closely resemble native human microglia by expressing the key marker IBA1, while exhibiting essential functional characteristics such as cytokine release and inflammatory responsiveness. 

The cryopreserved cells are fully differentiated and ready to use for your assay from Day 1. The cells recover efficiently after thawing (viability 85-90%), enabling consistent experimental performance while reducing hands-on time and batch-to-batch variability. 

In addition to monoculture studies, these hiMicroglia are ideally suited for co-culture CNS models to investigate neuroimmune crosstalk, synaptic remodeling and disease-relevant cellular interactions.

Please note: Microglia for research and development applications (RUO). Not for human or animal clinical trials, therapeutic or diagnostic use.

	Fig. 3: NF-κB translocation assay in hiMicroglia on day 1 after thawing. Cells were stimulated with 1 µg/ml LPS for 1 hour followed by 4% PFA fixation and anti-NF-kB p65 staining. A) Calculation of the NF-κB fluorescence intensity ratio (nucleus/cytoplasm) to quantify the LPS-induced (1 µg/ml) NF-κB translocation from cytoplasm into the nucleus in comparison to ctrl (untreated) cells. B) Exemplary immunofluorescence stainings of iMicroglia for NF-κB assay. NF-κB p65 (green) in the cytoplasm of ctrl (untreated) cells and predominantely in the nucleus of cells treated with 1 µg/ml LPS. Nuclei are stained by Hoechst33342 (blue). Scale bar: 20 µm
	Fig. 4: LPS-induced IL6 secretion in hiMicroglia. On day 1 after thawing, cells were stimulated with 1 µg/ml LPS for 48 hours, then cell culture supernatants were harvested and IL6 secretion was analysed via ELISA. n.d = not detected.
