Abstract
Dissociated cells from rat fetal cerebral hemispheres were grown in surface adhering culture using a novel synthetic medium (Maat medium) and compared with those grown either in the presence of serum or in the chemically defined medium described by Bottenstein and Sato. The addition of various compound combinations allowed us to lower insulin concentration to almost physiological levels. Maat medium improved the purity and longevity of neuronal cultures. The purity of neuronal cultures grown in different media was checked both by immunofluorescence and by the analysis of [3H]thymidine incorporation.Entities:
