Astrocytes are the majority cell type of the mammalian brain.
CD57 Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes are primary glial cells isolated from the hippocampal region of neonatal C57BL/6 mice. These star-shaped cells are critical components of the central nervous system (CNS), providing structural and metabolic support to neurons and maintaining synaptic function. Following isolation, the cells are cryopreserved at early passage to maintain phenotypic integrity. Morphologically, they exhibit a stellate or polygonal shape with branching processes and form adherent monolayers in vitro. Astrocytes derived from the hippocampus express glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S100β, which are commonly used markers for their identification. These cells do not possess unlimited proliferation capacity and cannot be continuously passaged. 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.

CD57 Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes serve as an essential in vitro model for investigating the role of glial cells in neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. They are especially useful in exploring CD57 mouse neurodevelopment. These cells provide a relevant model system for testing therapeutic strategies targeting astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation and synaptic modulation in conditions such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer’s disease. These cells are also suitable for glutamate uptake assays, calcium imaging, and neurotrophic factor quantification in hippocampal environments.
