Neuron Astrocyte Glial Markers

Potent and Frequently Published!

We have a stout catalog of Neuron-Astrocyte and Glial Markers.

They are widely used and frequently published. Here're some recent examples:
Mouse Monoclonal GFAP: Chelsea M. Larabee, Constantin Georgescu, Jonathan D. Wren and Scott M. Plafke. Expression profiling of the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UbcM2 in murine brain reveals modest age-dependent decreases in specific neurons. BMC Neuroscience201516:76 DOI: 10.1186/s12868-015-0194-y© Larabee et al. 2015.

Image: Mixed neuron-glial cultures stained with Mouse Monoclonal GFAP, and Chicken Polyclonal Neurofilament-NF-L (green). The GFAP antibody stains the network of astrocytes in these cultures, while the NF-L antibody stains neurons and their processes. The blue channel shows the localization of DNA. This antibody also works on formalin fixed paraffin embedded brain tissues. Protocol on Datasheet.

Tuj-1: Gaoying Sun, Wenwen Liu, Zhaomin Fan, Daogong Zhang, Yuechen Han, Lei Xu1, Jieyu Qi, Shasha Zhang, Bradley T. Gao, Xiaohui Bai,Jianfeng Li,Renjie Chai, Haibo Wang. The three-dimensional culture system with matrigel and neurotrophic factors preserves the structure and function of spiral ganglion neuron in vitro.

Staining Neurons and 3-D

Tuj-1 or Beta Tubulin Antibody in Action!

Our potent Neuron-Glia Markers are widely used and frequently published. We are also pleased with the many positive reviews.

In this study researchers use our Tuj-1/Beta Tubulin Antibody to stain neurons in 3-D Cultures: Gaoying Sun, Wenwen Liu, Zhaomin Fan, Daogong Zhang, Yuechen Han, Lei Xu1, Jieyu Qi, Shasha Zhang, Bradley T. Gao, Xiaohui Bai,Jianfeng Li,Renjie Chai, Haibo Wang. The three-dimensional culture system with matrigel and neurotrophic factors preserves the structure and function of spiral ganglion neuron in vitro...Tuj-1-β-tubulin (1:1000, Neuromics, USA)...

Images: Morphology of the SGNs growth cone cultured in 2D and 3D systems. Phalloidin, green; β-tubulin, red.

I will continue to post positive developments concerning use of our Neuron-Glia Markers.

Reconstructing 3D Living Biomaterials

Hydrogel Solutions for Tissue Reconstruction and Repair

Alphabioregen/Neuromics are pleased to announce the use of our Hydrogels for reconstructing living biomaterials for regenerative biology and medicine: Suwan N. Jayasinghe,Jensen Auguste, Chris J. Scotton. Platform Technologies for Directly Reconstructing 3D Living Biomaterials. DOI: 10.1002/adma.201503001.

In this study, researchers use our  Collagen Hydrogel, Collagen Hydrogel Soft and Collagen Hydrogel Soft+  to describe  in vivo applications using a murine model to interrogate biocompatibility and cellular behavior post-transfer.

Luc macrophages (CC or BES) were then incorporated into a fl uid mixture containing one of three alternative collagen-based hydrogels, namely, Collagen Hydrogel, Collagen Hydrogel Soft, or Collagen Hydrogel Soft+ (resulting in six possible combinations of macrophages and biopolymer).

Overview of Results



Figure: Bioluminescent imaging of implanted macrophage–biopolymer mixes. IC-21-Luc macrophages (CC or BES) were mixed with biopolymer (Hydrogel, Soft, or Soft+) and subcutaneously injected into the dorsal fl anks of C57Bl/6 mice (three mice per hydrogel, with CC on the left fl ank and BES on the right). Following intraperitoneal injection of delta-luciferin, macrophage bioluminescence was detected using an IVIS Lumina II imaging system. A representative image from day 1 post-implantation (and 25 min post luciferin injection) is shown, indicating the peak detectable radiance (photons s −1 cm −2) in identically sized regions of interest. The CE results were very similar to the BES implants.


Figure:  Histological analysis of the macrophage–biopolymer implantation site (MSB staining). At day 4 post-implantation, skin was harvested from each dorsal fl ank, and processed for histology. Where possible, serial sections directly adjacent to those shown in Figure 4 were stained with a modifi ed trichrome stain. Mature fi brillar collagen within the dermis appeared dark blue, while the collagen within the hydrogel was generally lighter blue in appearance, indicating a less highly cross-linked or fi brillar form of collagen. Scale bar: 200 µm.

These Collagen Hydrogels are proving easy to use and effective in the hands of our customers.

Thank you, Pete Shuster, CEO and Owner, Neuromics.
