Description
General description
The Human Neural Stem Cell Characterization Kit (Catalog Number SCR060) contains three molecular markers, Nestin (Lendahl, et al., 1990) and Sox 2 (Graham, et al., 2003) and Musashi (Sakakibara, et al., 1996) that are frequently used to identify neural stem/progenitor cells along with more differentiated lineage markers including bIII-tubulin for neurons, GFAP for astrocytes and O1 for oligodendrocytes. Mouse and rabbit immunoglobulins for the assessment of background staining are also included. All of the antibodies provided in the kit have been tested and optimized for use in immunocytochemistry on human neural stem cells. We recommend that the Human Neural Stem Cell Characterization Kit be used in conjunction with differentiation assays that demonstrate multipotentiality of the starting cell population.
