Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Adipogenesis Detection Kit

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of multipotent cells that can be differentiated into multiple lineage-specific cells, which can form bone, fat, cartilage, muscle and tendon. Among them, adipocytes are one of the cell types that can be derived from MSCs through adipogenesis. The process of fat formation plays a role in obesity, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. ScienCell has created a convenient qPCR kit for the assessment of human mesenchymal stem cell adipogenesis. CEBPB, PPARG and FABP4 qPCR primers included in the kit allow for the detection and quantification of early-, mid- and late-stage human MSC adipogenesis, respectively. Note : - all gene names follow their official symbols by the Human Genome Organization Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC). Four qPCR controls are included in this kit to verify successful reverse transcription of messenger RNA (mRNA) to complementary DNA (cDNA), reveal the presence of genomic DNA (gDNA) contamination in cDNA samples, and detect qPCR inhibitor contamination. Good quality cDNA is a critical component for successful gene expression analysis. Each primer set included in HMSC-A-qPCR kit arrives lyophilized in a 2 mL vial. All primers are designed and tested under the same parameters: (i) an optimal annealing temperature of 65°C (with 2 mM Mg2+, and no DMSO); (ii) recognition of all known target gene transcript variants; and (iii) specific amplification of only one amplicon. Each primer set has been validated by qPCR by melt curve analysis and gel electrophoresis.
