NeuroCult® Proliferation Kit (Mouse)
The NeuroCult® NSC Proliferation Kit (Mouse) is a standardized, serum-free medium for the culture of mouse neural stem and progenitor cells. The NeuroCult® NSC Proliferation Kit (Mouse) must be supplemented with appropriate cytokines (not included). When supplemented appropriately, the medium is optimized to maintain mouse neural stem cells in culture for extended periods of time without the loss of their self-renewal, proliferation or differentiation potential. The NeuroCult® NSC Proliferation Kit (Mouse) is comprised of NeuroCult® NSC Basal Medium (Mouse; Catalog #05700) and NeuroCult® NSC Proliferation Supplement (Mouse; Catalog #05701). Kit components are also available separately.
 
NOTE: When preparing Complete NeuroCult® Proliferation Medium (Mouse), addition of rh EGF (Catalog #02633) is required. When culturing cells obtained from adult mouse, rh bFGF (Catalog #02634) and heparin (Catalog #07980) are also required.

Comparison of cell expansion for mouse neurospheres cultured with Complete NeuroCult® Proliferation Medium (Mouse) or a traditional formulation
Cells microdissected from the cortices of E14 mice were cultured in Complete NeuroCult® Proliferation Medium (Mouse) or a traditional formulation containing 20 ng/mL rh EGF. At Day 71, cells cultured in Complete NeuroCult® Proliferation Medium (Mouse) were at Passage 13 while cells cultured in a traditional medium formulation were at Passage 10. Complete NeuroCult® Proliferation Medium (Mouse) consists of NeuroCult® NSC Basal Medium (Mouse), NeuroCult® NSC Proliferation Supplements (Mouse) and 20 ng/mL rh EGF.
