AGS-NSC Differentiation Media Kit

AGS-NSC Differentiation Media Kit

Chemicon (Millipore)

Adult Hippocampal Arctic Ground Squirrel Neural Stem Cells (AGS-NSC) are isolated from the hippocampus of adult Arctic Ground Squirrels following hibernation. Both the isolated cells and the whole animals are tolerant of ischemic insult and reperfusion. Using these cells and related expansion and differentiation media, researchers can identify potentially novel proteins and genes key to neuronal tolerance, neuroprotection and neurogenesis. Millipore’s AGS-NSC can be used to screen drugs, genes and proteins for protective changes caused by oxygen and/or glucose deprivation. These cells can potentially identify future targets for novel stroke therapeutics. As stem cells, these cells can be used in transplantation studies using rodent stroke models to investigate tolerance to ischemic injury. This media is designed for the serum-free differentiation of Arctic Ground Squirrel Neural Stem Cells into neurons.

Cell Culture Media

The AGS-NSC Differentiation Media Kit is provided as a kit containing AGS-NSC Basal Medium (Part# SCMA-BM) and
AGS-NSC Differentiation Supplement (ITS-p) (Part# SCMA003-S)

Liquid

Each media kit consists of two components: a) a bottle of basal medium and b) a supplement kit containing various growth factors and/or components. Basal Medium should be stored at 2 to 8ºC. The special UV protective packaging protects AGS-NSC media from light damage, however users should take care to protect basal medium from extended exposure to light. Supplement kits should be stored at -20ºC or colder for up to 6 months. Do not use product beyond expiration date. Basal medium which has been supplemented may be stored at 2 to 8°C for up to two weeks. All components are guaranteed stable until the expiration date stated on the individual labels.
