Product Overview

Cell Types

Schwann Cells

Applications

3D Cell Culture

Application Notes

16Y, S16 and S42 cells should be useful for investigating the cell biology of MAG and other myelin-related components as the levels of MAG expression in the three lines are inversely related to their rates of proliferation.
