Neural Stem Cell Lines

Gibco® Human Neural Stem Cells (H9-Derived)

  • Consistent high purity cells with normal human karyotype
  • Can differentiate into neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes with validated protocols
  • Kit version contains StemPro® NSC SFM media for consistent proliferation in adherent cell culture

Gibco® Rat Fetal Neural Stem Cells

  • Can be expanded as adherent or neurosphere suspension cell cultures
  • During expansion more than 75% of NSCs retain undifferentiated phenotype
  • Supports differentiation into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes

Gibco® Rat Primary Cortical Astrocytes

  • Superior cell viability to competitors—greater than 70% post-thaw viability.
  • Cryopreserved at the end of first passage—can be further expanded for at least 2 additional passages.
  • High cell purity- More than 90% of the cells remain positive for astrocyte specific marker glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP).

Gibco® Rat Glial Precursor Cells (rGPCs)

  • Upon proliferation in GPC recovery media (StemPro® NSC SFM and PDGF-AA), more than 80% of GPCs maintain their undifferentiated phenotype
  • Supports differentiation into oligodendrocytes and astrocytes
  • More than 2-fold increase in cells upon recovery
