ReNeuron's immortalised clonal neural stem cell lines demonstrate a variety of neural phenotypes in culture

Myc immortalised cortical cell line



Immortalised cortical cell line (CTXOA32) in the presence of growth factors bFGF and EGF. Cultures are predominantly GFAP staining astrocytes (red) with a few ß III-tubulin staining neurons (green). Counterstaining of cell nuclei with Hoechst dye.

 
Myc immortalised cortical cell line



Immortalised cortical cell line (CTXOA32) differentiating in the absence of growth factor for 7 days. Cultures are a mixed population of GFAP staining astrocytes (red) and ßIII-tubulin staining neurons (green). Counterstaining of cell nuclei with Hoechst dye.

 
MycERTam (tamoxifen regulated myc) immortalised



Immortalised cortical cell line (CTXOJ10) in the absence of growth factors bFGF and EGF for 7 days. Staining for beta III tubulin (green) with counterstaining of cell nuclei with Hoechst dye (blue) shows an abundance of neuronal differentiation.

 
MycERTam (tamoxifen regulated myc) immortalised



Immortalised cortical cell line (CTXOJ10) in the absence of growth factors bFGF and EGF for 7 days. Staining for GFAP (red) with counterstaining of cell nuclei with Hoechst dye (blue) shows a high level of astrocytic differentiation.
