JAX® Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

Produced from gold standard JAX® Mice at the highest level of quality.

Predictive BiologySix new lines from Predictive Biology now available, including FVB/NJ (001800), BALB/cByJ (001026), C3H/HeJ (000659), MRL/MpJ (000486), NZW/LacJ (001058) and BTBR T+ tf/J (002282)

mES cells in co-culture with MEFs
Undifferentiated JAX® mES cells growing on a confluent monolayer of JAX® MEF feeder cells

Key benefits

  • Isolated from nine strains of gold standard genetically well defined JAX® Mice (see table below)
  • Superior quality, pluripotent, non-transformed
  • Can be used to construct targeted mutants, including knockouts and knockins
  • May be used to generate populations of specific differentiated cell types
  • Useful for conducting pharmacogenetic studies
  • Saves time and resources: eliminates need to reconstruct mutants on one of three popular genetic backgrounds

Ordering

SPECIAL OFFER: For a limited time only, when you order JAX® mES cells, you can elect to have us send you two free vials of irradiated B6D2F1/J MEF cells as feeder cells (limit two vials per customer).
