Abstract excerpt

We here describe a method for the identification of a distinct neuronal phenotype at all stages of development in culture without the need of any staining procedure. Based purely on a size criterion we can rapidly select vital retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) for further studies out of a mixed cultu...
