Neural Stem Cell Functional Identification Kits (Catalog # SC011 & SC013)
- Supplements and substrates for the maintenance and differentiation of
neural stem cells.
- A panel of antibodies for the identification of multiple neuronal lineages
Neural stem cells are functionally defined by their capacity to self renew
and their ability to differentiate into multiple specialized progenitor cells,
which can commit to further maturation along specific lineages including astrocytes,
neurons, and oligodendrocytes.
The Human (Catalog # SC011) and Mouse/Rat (Catalog # SC013) Neural Stem Cell
Functional Identification Kits contain specially formulated media supplements
that can be used for the short-term maintenance and expansion of NSCs, and
the differentiation of NSCs into astrocyte, neuron, and oligodendrocyte lineages.
Also included is an antibody panel consisting of anti-Nestin, anti-Glial Fibrillary
Acidic Protein (GFAP), anti-Neuron-specific ß-III Tubulin, and anti-Oligodendrocyte
Marker O4 to identify neural precursors, astrocytes, neurons, and oligodendrocytes,
respectively.
