Human Intestinal Epithelial Organoid Culture, Maintenance, and Analysis

Source Kraiczy et al., 2017 · <UNKNOWN> · 10.1038/mi.2015.88

👤 Kraiczy J, Nayak K, Ross A, Howell K ⏱ 14 days 📋 5 phases 🧫 Patient-Derived iPSC (Pediatric and Foetal samples)

Abstract

This protocol describes the culture and maintenance of human intestinal epithelial organoids (IEOs) derived from pediatric, foetal, and adult patient samples, including media composition for expansion and differentiation, organoid harvesting and nucleic acid extraction, and molecular characterization via DNA methylation, RNA sequencing, immunofluorescence, and genome editing. The organoids are cultured for studies of intestinal development and inflammatory bowel disease modeling.

Cell source
Patient-Derived iPSC (Pediatric and Foetal samples)
Application
Disease modeling and developmental study of intestinal epithelium
