ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a serial of stable and mature methods of primary culture hippocampus neurons of GFP-transgene embryonic mice,to get the morphologic data of cultured neurons.Based on this research,in future,we can give an important theoretical and practical support for the therapy of nervous system diseases by transplanting with hippocampus neurons of GFP-transgene embryonic mice.Methods We primarily cultured the hippocampus neurons derived from the GFP-transgene embryonic mice in vitro.Under the microscope,we found cultured hippocampus neurons could live for more than one month and appeared to be the best status in 5～7 d after culture.During this time,the processes of the neurons are thick and the neurons connected one another to form the"cells-net" through their processes.After 14 d,the growth of the hippocampus neurons became slow.Results A serial of culture methods of hippocampus neurons had been successfully established.These cultured neurons were identified by the immuno-histochemical methods.They grow well in different phases before 14 d after culture.Conclusion Culturing hippocampus neurons of GFP-transgene embryonic mice is a simple,stable and effective method which can be applied to scientific research by other researchers.
