RFP Expressing Human Brain Astrocytes
Quick Actions
Product Overview
Description
RFP-Expressing Human Brain Astrocytes are engineered human brain astrocyte cells that consistently express Red Fluorescent Protein (RFP). These cells retain an astrocyte-like morphology and can be directly visualized under fluorescence microscopy without the need for additional staining.
Astrocytes are crucial glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that play key roles in maintaining brain homeostasis, supporting neurons, regulating synapses, and responding to injury or disease.
Guarantee expansion for a minimum of 2-6 population doublings.
IMPORTANT: Quality warranty requires use of NeoBioPharma media. Biohazardous material despite negative pathogen testing. Quality claims must be reported within 1 month.
Key Features
Catalog Number: NBP-0031RFP
Product Format: Frozen
Vial Cell Number: > 5x10[5] cells/vial
Passage:1(P1)
Storage: Liquid Nitrogen, Vapor Phase
Intended Use: Research use only (RUO)
Characteristics:
The cells exhibit bright red fluorescence, which makes them valuable for live-cell imaging, tracking, and co-culture experiments. RFP labeling enables researchers to differentiate astrocytes from other cell types in mixed cultures, such as neurons, endothelial cells, microglia, and pericytes. Additionally, red fluorescent proteins are advantageous for imaging as the red-shifted fluorescence can minimize background autofluorescence and enhance visualization in certain biological samples.
