Description: Spinal cord tissue lysate was prepared by homogenization in lysis buffer (10 mM HEPES pH7.9, 1.5 mM MgCl₂, 10 mM KCl, 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 10% glycerol, 1% NP-40, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors). Tissue and cell debris was removed by centrifugation. The product was boiled for 5 min in 1 x SDS sample buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 12.5% glycerol, 1% sodium dodecylsulfate, 0.01% bromophenol blue) containing 50 mM DTT.

Description: Human spinal cord tissue lysate was prepared by homogenization using a proprietary technique. The tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision and then stored at -70°C. The human spinal cord tissue total protein is provided in a buffer including HEPES (pH7.9), MgCl2, KCl, EDTA, Sucrose, Glycerol, Sodium deoxycholate, NP-40, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors. For quality control purposes, the spinal cord tissue pattern on SDS-PAGE gel is shown to be consistent for each lot by visualization with coomassie blue staining. The spinal cord tissue is then Western analyzed by either GAPDH or β-actin antibody, and the expression level is consistent with each lot.

Description: Fetal human spinal Cord tissue lysate was prepared by homogenization using a proprietary technique. The tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision and then stored at -70°C. The fetal human spinal Cord tissue total protein is provided in a buffer including HEPES (pH7.9), MgCl2, KCl, EDTA, Sucrose, Glycerol, Sodium deoxycholate, NP-40, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors. For quality control purposes, the spinal Cord tissue pattern on SDS-PAGE gel is shown to be consistent for each lot by visualization with coomassie blue staining. The spinal Cord tissue is then Western analyzed by either GAPDH or β-actin antibody, and the expression level is consistent with each lot.

Description: The tissue of the central nervous system is made up of two classes of cells that may be broadly categorized as neurons and glia. Neurons are anatomic, functional, and trophic units of the brain. Despite great variability in size and shape.

Description: Human spinal cord tissue membrane protein lysate was prepared by isolating the membrane protein from whole tissue homogenates using a proprietary technique. The human spinal cord tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision and then stored at -70°C. The membrane protein is provided in a buffer including HEPES (pH 7.9), MgCl2, KCl, EDTA, Sucrose, Glycerol, sodium deoxycholate, NP-40, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors. For quality control purposes, the isolated spinal cord tissue membrane protein pattern on SDS-PAGE gel is shown to be consistent for each lot by visualization with coomassie blue staining. The isolated spinal cord tissue membrane protein is then Western analyzed by either GAPDH or β-actin antibody to confirm there is no signal or very weak signal.

Description: Fetal human umbilical cord tissue lysate was prepared by homogenization using a proprietary technique. The tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision and then stored at -70°C. The fetal human umbilical cord tissue total protein is provided in a buffer including HEPES (pH7.9), MgCl2, KCl, EDTA, Sucrose, Glycerol, Sodium deoxycholate, NP-40, and a cocktail of protease inhibitors. For quality control purposes, the umbilical cord tissue pattern on SDS-PAGE gel is shown to be consistent for each lot by visualization with coomassie blue staining. The umbilical cord tissue is then Western analyzed by either GAPDH or β-actin antibody, and the expression level is consistent with each lot.

Description: Astrocytes make up the majority of the cells in the mammalian brain. They are the most variable in type, most intimately associated with all parts of neurons, and thus most functionally interesting in their relationships with neurons. They provide structural, trophic, and metabolic support to neurons and modulate synaptic activity. Impairment of these astrocyte functions during stroke and other insults can critically influence neuron survival. Furthermore, astrocytes have been implicated in the pathological processes of many neurological diseases. Long-term recovery after brain injury, through neurite outgrowth, synaptic plasticity, or neuron regeneration, is influenced by astrocyte surface molecule expression and trophic factor release. In addition, the death or survival of astrocytes themselves may affect the ultimate clinical outcome. Recognition of the importance of astrocytes in nervous system functioning is increasing, specifically regarding the modulation of neural activity. Much of what we have learned about astrocytes is from the in vitro studies and astrocyte cultures are continuing to provide a useful tool in exploring the diverse property of these cells.HA-sp from Gentaur Research Laboratories are isolated from human spinal cord. HA-sp are cryopreserved at passage one and delivered frozen. Each vial contains 5×10^5 cells in 1 ml volume. HA-sp are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibody to GFAP. HA-sp are negative for HIV-1, HBV, HCV, mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast and fungi. HA-sp are guaranteed to further expand for 15 population doublings at the conditions provided by Gentaur Research Laboratories.
