FUNCTIONAL VALIDATION

Phenotypic Characterisation

Noci-One® neurons are an enriched population of TrkA expressing human nociceptor neurons. Flow cytometry analysis shows that a majority of Tuj1+ Noci-One® neurons co-express TrkA.

Morphology

Noci-One® nociceptor neurons show significant TrkA expression in neuron cell bodies. Immunofluorescence analysis showing co-expression of TrkA and Tuj1 in hiPSC derived Noci-One® nociceptor neurons. Typical nociceptor morphology with large round cell bodies and TrkA expression.

Functional Characterisation

Noci-One® human nociceptor neurons respond to reference anti-pain drug Lidocaine in a neurotransmitter release functional assay. Complete inhibition of Veratridine (Vera, 3uM) induced Substance P release upon treatment with reference anti-pain molecule Lidocaine (Lido, 100uM).
