Overview
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are progenitor cells found in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. These multipotent, self-renewing cells give rise to all the cell types found in the central and peripheral nervous systems, including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Levels of these progenitor cells play a role in nervous system development, neurodegenerative diseases, and neuroinflammation.
Data Examples
Verification of Neural Progenitor Marker Expression in Rat Neural Stem Cells. Rat cortical stem cells (R&D Systems, Catalog # NSC001) were assessed for expression of neural progenitor markers using the Human/Mouse/Rat Neural Progenitor Cell Marker Antibody Panel (R&D Systems, Catalog # SC025). Rat cortical stem cells were stained with A.) a Mouse Anti-CXCR4 Monoclonal Antibody followed by the NorthernLights™ (NL)557-conjugated Donkey Anti-Mouse Secondary Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # NL007; red), B.) a Goat Anti-Musashi-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody followed by the NL557-conjugated Donkey Anti-Goat Secondary Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # NL001; red), and C.) a Mouse Anti-Nestin Monoclonal Antibody followed by the NL493-conjugated Donkey Anti-Mouse Secondary Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # NL009; green). The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue) in each panel.
Verification of Neural Progenitor Marker Expression in Mouse Neural Stem Cells. Mouse cortical stem cells (R&D Systems, Catalog # NSC002) were assessed for expression of neural progenitor markers using the Human/Mouse/Rat Neural Progenitor Cell Marker Antibody Panel (R&D Systems, Catalog # SC025). Mouse cortical stem cells were stained with A.) a Mouse Anti-SSEA-1 Monoclonal Antibody followed by the NL557-conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse Secondary Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # NL019; red), B.) a Goat Anti-Notch-1 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody followed by the NL493-conjugated Donkey Anti-Goat Secondary Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # NL003; green), and C.) a Goat Anti-SOX2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody followed by the NL557-conjugated Donkey Anti-Goat Secondary Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # NL001; red). The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue) in each panel.
