Electrophysiological profiling of Axiogenesis vCor.4U iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Poster Description

Here, we have assessed the suitability of Axiogenesis CorV.4U 2nd generation iPSC-CM for cardiotoxicity screening by evaluating their biophysical and pharmacological characteristics using three different methodologies:

  1. Whole-cell voltage clamp recordings to quantify inward Na+ and Ca2+ currents (INa and ICa), as well as outward and inward K+ currents (IK).
  2. Current clamp measurements of action potential (AP) parameters and pharmacology. Representative compounds from the CiPA validation toolbox in addition to compounds discriminating between atrial and ventricular phenotypes, were utilised in these experiments. These data confirmed the functional expression and pharmacology of typical cardiac currents, including INa, ICa, and IKr.
  3. Phenotypic measurements of impedance (contraction) and extracellular field potential (excitability) were made on the xCELLigence RTCA CardioECR platform.

Robust Sensory Neuron Phenotype Identified in Human iPSC-derived Sensory Neurons using Electrophysioloigcal Recordings

The presence of sensory neuron markers, excitability properties consistent with sensory neurons, and evidence of nociceptor ion channels (using both RNASeq and electrophysiology) provides strong evidence that iCell Sensory Neurons have a robust sensory neuron phenotype suitable for supporting pain discovery programs.

Validation of Antibody Toxin Fusions Against Sodium Channels

Using automated patch clamp technology, we evaluate the potency and selectivity of ten Nav1.7-selective arachnid peptide toxins, which have been fused to the C-terminus (Fc region) of human IgG1.
