Abstract excerpt
In earlier studies, we established glial cell cultures derived from aged (18-month-old) mouse cerebral hemispheres (MACH) and have maintained them frozen at various passages. These cultures were characterized immunocytochemically and consist of: 5% oligodendrocytes (GalC+), 75% astrocytes-type 1 (GFAP+ only), 15% astrocytes-type 2 (GFAP+ + A2B5+), and 5% progenitor glial cells (A2B5+ only). In the present study,...
