Purification and characterization of adult oligodendrocyte precursor cells from the rat optic nerve.
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) persist in substantial numbers in the adult brain in a quiescent state suggesting that they may provide a source of new oligodendrocytes after injury. To determine whether adult OPCs have the capacity to divide rapidly, we have developed a method to highly purify OPCs from adult optic nerve and have directly compared their properties with their perinatal c...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of astrocyte precursor cells in the developing rat optic nerve.
The signaling interactions that control oligodendrocyte generation from their precursor cells have been studied intensively. Much less is known about how astrocyte generation is normally controlled. Here we report the purification and characterization of astrocyte precursor cells (APCs) from the developing rat optic nerve. APCs are antigenically distinct from astrocytes. Both cell types are Pax...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Purification of Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells from Rat Cortices by Immunopanning.
This protocol describes how to purify oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) from postnatal rodent brains. The method utilizes an immunopanning technique to first remove unwanted cells by negative selection and then purify OPCs by positive selection and subsequent enzymatic release from the final panning plate. Included are modifications that allow for purification and culturing of OPCs from mo...
متن کاملInduction of rat neural stem cells into oligodendrocyte precursor cells.
We have previously established a culture method to isolate and cultivate neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from the rat embryonic brain and spinal cord. In the present study, we demonstrate that the spinal cord-derived NSCs can be induced to differentiate into oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) with a combined treatment composed of (1) conditioned medium collected from B104 neuroblastoma cel...
متن کاملDoublecortin in Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells in the Adult Mouse Brain
Key Points Oligodendrocyte precursor cells express doublecortin, a microtubule-associated protein.Oligodendrocyte precursor cells express doublecortin, but at a lower level of expression than in neuronal precursor.Doublecortin is not associated with a potential immature neuronal phenotype in Oligodendrocyte precursor cells. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPC) are glial cells that differentiat...
