Abstract excerpt
During development, myelin-forming oligodendrocytes and type 2 astrocytes are believed to arise from bipotential (O-2A) glial progenitors. Previously we found that conditioned medium (CM) from the B104 rat CNS neuronal cell line promotes growth of neonatal rat O-2A progenitors in serum-free culture conditions with subsequent increases in differentiated progeny. We now report that O-2A progenitors are present in...
