MilliporeSigma™ Chemicon™ ReNcell™ CX Human Neural Progenitor Cell Line

an immortalized human neural progenitor cell line with the ability to readily differentiate into neurons and glial cells.

ReNcell CX is an immortalized human neural progenitor cell line with the ability to readily differentiate into neurons and glial cells. ReNcell CX was derived from the cortical region of human fetal brain. Immortalized by retroviral transduction with the c-myc oncogene, this cell line grows rapidly as a monolayer on laminin with a doubling time of 20-30 hours. Karyotype analyses indicate that the ReNcell CX retains a normal diploid karyotype in culture even after prolonged passage (>45 passages). ReNcell CX was developed by the ReNeuron Group plc, a biotech company that specializes in using human somatic stem cells for therapeutics. ReNcell CX may be used for a variety of research applications such as studies of neurotoxicity, neurogenesis, electrophysiology, neurotransmitter and receptor functions. ReNcell CX cells have been obtained in a legal and ethical manner, compliant with current local informed consent procedures.
