CD-1 Mouse Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells

Description

CD-1 Mouse Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells (OPCs) are isolated from the cerebral cortex of CD-1 mice. The OPCs are derived from healthy, pathogen-free CD-1 mice without induced pathology. These cells are a type of glial progenitor cell that give rise to oligodendrocytes, the myelin-producing cells of the central nervous system. After isolation, OPCs were cryopreserved at passage 1–3 to retain primary characteristics. In culture, they exhibit a bipolar morphology with dynamic process extension. CD-1 OPCs express lineage-specific markers such as NG2, PDGFRα, and Olig2. These cells are critical for studying demyelinating diseases and neuroinflammation, including models of multiple sclerosis and perinatal white matter injury, and for investigating mechanisms related to the CD-1 mouse immune response in the central nervous system. Each lot undergoes rigorous screening and isolation procedures, and is rigorously tested to ensure it is free of contamination from Mycoplasma, Fungi, Yeast, and Bacteria.
