Establishment of human adult astrocyte cultures derived from postmortem multiple sclerosis and control brain and spinal cord regions: immunophenotypical and functional characterization.

Abstract excerpt

We have successfully established highly enriched astrocyte cultures upon passaging of primary cultures derived from various regions of postmortem human adult brain and spinal cord. Tissues were collected at autopsies with relatively short postmortem times (3-9 hr) from multiple sclerosis (MS) and (normal) control cases. Immunocytochemical analysis showed that primary cultures were composed of colonies of...
