Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE)
From Retina Models
A functional monolayer in vitro model of retinal pigment epithelial cells generated from human iPSCs for accurate prediction of clinical outcomes. The retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell model is composed of a monolayer of RPE cells cultured in 24-well Transwell® plates. RPE characterisation includes: morphology assessment, pigmentation, RPE-specific expression at the protein level (BEST1, TYRP1), the analysis of phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments, trans-epithelial resistance (TEER), polarity of apical Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factors (PEDF) and basal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion.
Available Analytical Readouts
- Immunofluorescence
- mRNA quantification by RT-qPCR
- Transcriptomics by single-cell RNA sequencing
- Growth factor (VEGF, PEDF) secretion
- Flow cytometry
- Electron microscopy
