All animal work pertaining to progenitor cell isolation was performed with prior approval and in accordance with the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidelines at the University of Michigan and University of Miami. Embryonic spinal progenitors were isolated from the spinal cords of embryonic day 14 (E14) C57BL/6-Tg(CAG-EGFP)10sb/J mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME), enzymatically dissociated with 10 U/mL papain (Worthington, Lakewood, NY) and 37 μg/mL DNase (Sigma) into single cells, and expanded as neurospheres in ultralow attachment flasks (Corning, Corning, NY), as described previously (Dumont et al., 2018 (link)). Embryonic spinal progenitors were expanded in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Gibco, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 1X B27 (Gibco), 1X N2 (Gibco), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC; Sigma), and 20 ng/mL basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF; Peprotech). E14 cell colonies were passaged with papain as needed and not used beyond the second passage for transplantation studies.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
