| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a method of producing purified neural stem cells, comprising harvesting fluid containing neural stem cells from cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord of an individual, isolating the neural stem cells from the fluid, culturing the neural stem cells in a culture medium effective to induce proliferation of the neural stem cells and purifying the cultured neural stem cells. Also provided is a method of treating a patient afflicted with a neurological condition, in which the purified neural stem cells are administered autologously into the same individual or heterologously to a patient other than the individual. Administration of the purified neural stem cells results in the purified neural stem cells propagating in the site of the brain region afflicted with the neurological condition.
