  • Neurokinin-1 (NK 1) Receptor-Detects a band at 80-90 kDa on Western blots of

    membranes prepared from cells transfected with the rat substance P receptor (Vigna et al., 1994); stainingin rat spinal cord was blocked by preabsorbing the antiserum with the immunizing peptide (Mantyh et al., 1995)-Dilution 1:2,000

  • Substance P-The distribution of immunoreactivity in rat spinal cord is identical to that described previously (Hunt et al.,1981); in dual-labeling experiments, it labels the same structures as a polyclonal rabbit anti-SP (1:1,000; Peninsula/Bachem; T-4107; data not shown)

Sujoy K. Dhara, Kowser Hasneen, David W. Machacek, Nolan L. Boyd, Raj R. Rao, Steven L. Stice (2008). Human neural progenitor cells derived from embryonic stem cells in feeder-free cultures. Differentiation 76 (5) , 454–464 doi:10.1111/j.1432-0436.2007.00256.x

Immunostaining of human neural progenitors before and after differentiation. The culture was highly homogenous with neural rosettes. (A) Neural rosettes (white arrows, bright field) from WA09 cells. A similar result also obtained with BG02 cell line. (B) Shown here, a neural rosette stained with Nestin (NES) (green) antibody. Propagated Neural progenitors showed expression of marker genes, NES (C) and Musashi 1 (D) but not SOX2 (E). Further differentiation produced neurons (Tuj1) (F), astrocytes (GFAP) (G) and oligodendrocytes (myelin basic protein)(H) (lower panel). DAPI (blue) was used for staining the nuclei (scale bar for (A) through (E) is 100 mm and for the remaining figures 10 mm). Differentiation (2007) DOI: 10.1111/j.1432-0436.2007.00256.x
