This video demonstrates the procedure to generate motor neurons by transfection of human iPSCs with PiggyBac transposon system by the ectopic expression of lineage-specific transcription factors.
Protocol
1. Generation of NIL and NIP Inducible iPSC Lines Cell transfection Rinse the cells with PBS (Ca2+/Mg2+ free). Add cell dissociation reagent (see Table of Materials) (0.35 mL for a 35 mm dish) and incubate at 37 °C until single cells are separated (5-10 min). Gently complete cell separation by pipetting up and down with a P1000 pipettor 3-4 times. Collect in a 15 mL tube and ad…
