Mouse Neurons-spinal cord from CD1

The tissue of the central nervous system is made up of two classes of cells that may be broadly categorized as neurons and glia. Neurons are anatomic, functional, and trophic units of the brain. Neurons are dynamically polarized cells responsible for electrochemically transmitting information throughout the nervous system. Despite great variability in size and shape, all neurons share common morphological features, the key elements of a highly complex communication network. The spinal cord is a central nervous system structure connecting the brain and body. It functions as a conduit for sensory information from the extremities and trunk to the brain and transmits voluntary movements from the brain to muscles. Primary mouse neurons-spinal cord (MN-sc) can be used to study the potential treatments for spinal cord injuries.

MN-sc from ScienCell Research Laboratories are isolated from the embryonic day 14 CD-1 mouse spinal cord. MN-sc are cryopreserved at P0 and delivered frozen. Each vial contains >1 x 10⁶ cells in 1 ml volume. MN-sc are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to β-tubulin III. MN-sc are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, and fungi. MN-sc are guaranteed to further culture under the conditions provided by ScienCell Research Laboratories; however, MN-sc are not recommended for expanding or long-term cultures since the cells do not proliferate in culture.

Recommended Medium
It is recommended to use neuronal medium (NM, Cat. #1521) for culturing MN-sc in vitro.
