LIQUID MEDIUM FOR NERVE CELLS, PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND METHOD FOR INCUBATING NERVE CELLS WITH THE USE OF THE SAME

摘要

The present invention is directed to a culture medium for neurons prepared by adding albumin to a culture supernatant obtained from a culture of primary astroglial cells in a trophic medium supplemented with insulin and transferrin. The culture medium of the present invention makes it possible to culture central nerve cells consistently. When they are cultured at a low cell density, neurites extend excellently, and synapses are formed rapidly. On the other hand, when they are cultured at a high cell density, long-term stability of cells that had formed neuronetworks can be obtained.
