HNPCs are initiated by dissecting fetal brain tissue and digestion with collagenase. RFP expressing HNPCs (RFP-HNPCs) are selected from RFP expressing lentiviruses infected HNPCs. RFP-HNPCs are offered in frozen vial format (the cells are provided @ passage 2). RFP-HNPCs growth medium is recommended for cell culture and these cells have a minimum average population doubling capacity > 6 when cultured following the detailed protocol described below.
