Description générale

Neural Stem Cell Marker Characterization Kit

Introduction:

Neural stem cells are present in both the developing and adult nervous system of all mammals, including humans (Gage, 2000). They possess the remarkable capacity to self-renew and to differentiate along specific pathways to generate the vast array of neuronal and glial cell types of the central nervous system (CNS). Due to their therapeutic promise, considerable attention has been focused on identifying the sources of stem cells, the signals that regulate their proliferation and the specification of neural stem cells towards more differentiated cell lineages.

Presently, neural stem cells are often identified based upon the presence of molecular markers that are correlated with the stem and/or progenitor state along with the absence of a more differentiated phenotype as assessed through marker analysis. To aid researchers in the accurate identification of neural stem cells, CHEMICON® presents the Neural Stem Cell Characterization Kit (Catalog Number SCR019).

CHEMICON′s Neural Stem Cell Characterization Kit (Catalog Number SCR019) contains two molecular markers, Nestin (Lendahl, U. et al., 1990) and Sox 2 (Graham, V. et al., 2003), that are frequently used to identify neural stem/progenitor cells along with more differentiated lineage markers including Map2ab for neurons, GFAP for astrocytes and O1 for oligodendrocytes. Mouse and rabbit immunoglobulins for the assessment of background staining are also included.

All of the antibodies provided in the kit have been tested and optimized for use in immunocytochemistry on adult rat neural stem cells. We recommend that CHEMICON′s Neural Stem Cell Characterization Kit be used in conjunction with differentiation assays that demonstrate multipotentiality of the starting cell population. Please look for these differentiation assays along with rat neural stem cells from CHEMICON in the near future.

For Research Use Only; not for use in diagnostic procedure.
