Abstract excerpt
We established high density primary cultures of neural cells from dissociated second trimester human fetal brains using a novel spin seeding method. Under our culture conditions, the majority of the cells exhibited neuronal phenotypes as evidenced by morphological criteria, immunoreactivity to th...
