Oligodendrocyte Products
An essential glial cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes and Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are principally in charge of myelin production and maintenance. In the CNS, OPCs wrap around axons to create an insulating myelin sheath, aid in the effective transmission of bioelectrical signals, and preserve and safeguard neurons' regular function. These cells are not only essential for the survival of neurons but also play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
At Creative Biolabs, our OPCs products provide researchers with powerful tools for neuroscience research, enabling them to make breakthroughs in neurobiology. We offer a comprehensive range of OPCs products, including animal primary OPCs (from rats and mice), human primary OPCs, and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived OPCs.

Features & Benefits
- Source and Purity: Our OPCs are sourced from cerebral cortex tissue and undergo rigorous screening to ensure a purity of over 90%, free from HIV-1, HBV, HCV, and other viral and microbial contamination.
- Growth Characteristics: These cells exhibit adherent growth and are round or oval in shape, making them well-suited for a variety of experimental applications.
- Culture Conditions: It is recommended to use the oligodendrocyte-specific culture medium from Creative Biolabs and culture at 37°C and 5% CO2 to ensure optimal growth.
- High-quality Assurance: Our OPCs are subjected to a rigorous MBP immunofluorescence staining testing process to guarantee the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Applications
- The development and screening of new drugs is a crucial aspect of the pharmaceutical industry. By simulating the differentiation and myelination process of OPCs, we can develop and screen drugs for the treatment of demyelinating and myelin damage diseases in vitro.
- Neural Repair: Additionally, OPCs have demonstrated efficacy in nerve regeneration following injury, particularly in the promotion of remyelination.
