- Mouse Astrocytes-hippocampal from CD1
Astrocytes are the majority cell type of the mammalian brain. Astrocytes have been implicated in a variety of supportive functions for their partner neurons in the CNS, such as neuronal guidance during development, and nutritional and metabolic support throughout life [1]. The functions of astroyctes are also complicated during pathological processes [2]. Numerous studies have demonstrated that astrocytes are among the most functionally diverse group of cells in the CNS [3]. Much of what we have learned about astrocytes is from in vitro studies and astrocyte culture is continually providing a useful tool in exploring the diverse property of astrocytes.
MA-h from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from neonate day two mouse brain (cerebral cortex). MA-h are cryopreserved at primary culture and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >5 x 10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. MA-h are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibody to GFAP. MA-h are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. MA-h are guaranteed to further expand for 5 population doublings in the condition provided by ScienCell Research Laboratories.
Recommended Medium
It is recommended to use Astrocyte Medium-animal (AM-a, Cat. #1831) for the culturing of MA-h in vitro.
