We offer several kits for expansion and differentiation of multipotent neural stem (NS) cell lines. These kits contain NS cell lines derived from distinct areas of the human central nervous system, including the neural cortex, hindbrain, mid-forebrain, spinal cord, and temporal lobe. Cells can be used for a variety of neuroscience research applications and compound screening assays. Each kit contains cells (~1.5 x 106 cells) and serum-free media optimized for culturing adherent human NS cells.
NOTE: RHB-A medium requires supplementation with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF-2) for most applications (not supplied).
