Human Neurons

Human neurons (HN) mainly reside in central nervous system, but also distribute in multiple other parts of the brain such as peripheral ganglia, retina and cochlea. Neurons are highly specialized for the processing and transmission of cellular signals. Transmitting information is the exceptional character that distinguishes neurons from other cells.

Neuron stops reproduction shortly after birth and is unable to replace the old one. Consequently, some diseases like neurodegenerative disease (e.g. Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and Huntington’s disease) that damage nerve cells are hard to cure. Another obstacle of research on human nervous system research is the lack of neuronal cells due to the difficulty of isolating neurons from living patients. Primary neurons can be easily cultured and differentiated into neurons. Thus, primary neurons culture has become one of the most elementary methodologies for modern neurobiology.

Why Choose Human Neurons from AcceGen?
AcceGen cryopreserves our HNs in P0, >1 x 10^6 cells/mL for the best viability and plating efficiency after extensive testing and optimizations.
Primary neurons performance is guaranteed for further culture in the specifically suited and optimized Medium in AcceGen. Serum-free media for HN long-term maintenance is also available in AcceGen.
HNs are characterized by immunofluorescence with antibodies specific to β-tubulin III.
