Lineage restriction of neuroepithelial precursor cells from fetal human spinal cord
25 Aug 1999
Abstract excerpt
In the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), neuroepithelial precursor cells from dissociated fetal human spinal cord are mitotically active and form free-floating spheres of undifferentiated cells. Proliferating cells were obtained in approximately 40% of preparations with each mitogen, were immunoreactive for the intermediate filament nestin, and did not express...
