Product Overview
Description
NeuCELL™ VM is an immortalized human neural progenitor cell line with the ability to readily differentiate into neurons and glial cells. NeuCELL™ VM was derived from the ventral mesencephalon region of human fetal brain. Immortalized by retroviral transduction with the v-myc oncogene, this cell line grows rapidly as a monolayer on laminin with a doubling time of 20-30 hours. Karyotype analyses indicate that the NeuCELL™ VM retains a normal diploid karyotype in culture even after prolonged passage (>45 passages). Neurons differentiated from NeuCELL™ VM have furthermore been shown to be electophysiologically active. NeuCELL™ VM may be used for a variety of research applications such as studies of neurotoxicity, neurogenesis, electrophysiology, neurotransmitter and receptor functions.

Quality Control
Each lot of NeuCELL™ cells has been validated for high level of expression of Nestin and Sox 2 and for their self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capacities. Cells also display normal karyotype as assessed by chromosome spread and tested negative for mycoplasma. Maternal blood has been screened for HIV, HTLV, Hepatitis B and C.
