LINEAGE-RESTRICTED PRECURSOR CELLS ISOLATED FROM MOUSE NEURAL TUBE AND MOUSE EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS

摘要

Isolated, pure populations of mouse neuroepithelial stem cells, mouse neuron-restricted precursor cells, and mouse glial-restricted precursor cells derived from mouse embryonic neural tubes are provided. Also provided are isolated, pure populations of mouse neuron-restricted precursor cells, and mouse glial-restricted precursor cells derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. In addition, methods for isolating pure populations of these cells from either mouse embryonic neural tubes or mouse embryonic stem cells are provided.
