ActiCells™ RUO Hypo hiPSCs
Cat.-Nr.: ASE-9550
Description
Accelerate your allogeneic development by starting with a hypoimmunogenic iPSC platform reprogrammed from CD34+ cord blood cells.
- Hypoimmunogenic — B2M/CIITA double knock-out eliminates expression of HLA Class I and II molecules to avoid recognition by CD8+ and CD4+ T cells
- Favorable development profile — reprogrammed from CD34+ cord blood cells for reduced immunogenicity and fewer somatic mutations compared to reprogrammed adult cells
- Excellent differentiation potential — we’ve successfully differentiated the parental line into a number of cell types, including cardiomyocytes, NK cells, T cells, monocytes/macrophages, and endothelial cells
- Commercialization-ready — genome editing performed with Mad7 technology for clear freedom to operate
- Genome editing ready — suitable for cell line engineering in our labs or yours
Overview
ActiCells™ RUO Hypo are research-use-only human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) engineered to support the development of next-generation allogeneic cell-based medicines. Derived from CD34+ cord blood cells—a neonatal source known for its low mutational burden and reduced immunogenicity—these hiPSCs have been gene-edited to knock out both the β2 microglobulin (B2M) and HLA class II transactivator (CIITA) genes, further minimizing immune recognition through disruption of cell surface expression of MHC class I and II molecules.
The double B2M/CIITA knock-out makes ActiCells™ RUO Hypo hiPSCs an ideal foundation for building hypoimmunogenic, off-the-shelf therapeutic products. The cell line is ready for additional engineering, including the introduction of transgenes that further enhance immune evasion or deliver therapeutic effects. Whether you are designing universal donor cells or testing immune cloaking strategies, these hiPSCs offer a stable and flexible platform for allogeneic development.

The ActiCells™ RUO Hypo hiPSCs will be the research-matching isogenic cell line to the ActiCells™ GMP Hypo hiPSCs which are in development.
Need to insert genes into your hypoimmunogenic iPSCs and want to do it in your own labs? We offer the ActiCells™ RUO TARGATT™ Hypo Knock-in Kit (Cat.# AST-9650) for efficient integration of your therapeutic payload into the H11 safe harbor locus.
Each vial of ActiCells™ RUO Hypo hiPSCs contains 1 x 106 cells. Every lot is tested for viability following recovery from cryopreservation, functional pluripotency (formation of the three germ layers), expression of pluripotency markers (OCT4, SOX2, NANOG, SSEA-4, and TRA-1-60), presence of alkaline phosphatase (AP), STR, sterility, and for the absence of mycoplasma and pathogens (CoA available upon request).
