AUSTIN, Texas – January 19, 2018 – Altogen Labs today detailed its stem cell services portfolio, supporting researchers and developers working in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapy.
The service range covers stem cell collection and processing, screening and isolation techniques, and characterization work supporting both autologous and homologous applications. These pair directly with the company’s teratoma formation and analysis service, in which embryonic stem or induced pluripotent stem cells supplied by the client are xenografted into immunodeficient mice to assess pluripotency and tumorigenic potential.
That assessment is not optional for cell therapy programs. Pluripotent cells capable of forming all three embryonic germ layers are, by definition, capable of forming teratomas — and regulators expect that risk to be quantified before a cell product approaches clinical use. Altogen Labs examines the influence of growth factors, hormones, genetic modification, and delivery route on teratoma formation and composition.
The company states that its qualified staff fully understand the risks and complexities associated with potential stem cell therapies, and design studies to identify the complications, interactions, and factors that could limit or affect therapeutic viability.
Complementary services include GLP-compliant cryopreservation and cell banking for preservation of cell products, CRISPR/Cas9 editing, stable cell line development, flow cytometry-based characterization, and gene expression analysis by RT-PCR.
