<strong>BD</strong> Biocoat cell environments <strong>BD</strong> Biosciences - Discovery Labware<br />
<strong>BD</strong> Biocoat Poly-D-lysine/laminin, Poly-l-ornithine/laminin, and<br />
laminin/Fibronectin cellware<br />
• Promotes neuronal cell attachment and differentiation for a<br />
variety of applications<br />
RCG cells cultured on <strong>BD</strong> BioCoat PLO/LM Cellware exhibit a spindle-shaped morphology<br />
and dendritic processes.<br />
<strong>BD</strong> BioCoat Poly-D-Lysine/Laminin (PDL/LM) and Poly-L-Ornithine/<br />
Laminin (PLO/LM) Cellware is suitable for culturing many different<br />
types of peripheral and central nervous system (CNS) networks and<br />
is useful for promoting neural cell attachment and differentiation.<br />
<strong>BD</strong> BioCoat Laminin/Fibronectin (LM/HFN) Cellware provides an<br />
in vitro environment that promotes cell attachment and extensive<br />
process formation. In addition, this substrate upregulates receptor<br />
systems that are integral to neuronal communications. <strong>BD</strong> BioCoat<br />
LM/HFN Cellware facilitates the study of pharmacological or<br />
physiological events of the CNS by providing molecular cues required<br />
to produce neuronal cultures capable of responding to many<br />
important neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and excitatory amino<br />
acids such as glutamate, NMDA, and kainate 1 .<br />
<strong>BD</strong> Biocoat PDl/lm, Plo/lm and lm/HFn<br />
cellware applications include:<br />
• Enhancement of neuronal cell attachment to plastic and glass<br />
• Promotion of neurite outgrowth<br />
• Culture of glial cells as feeder layers for neurons<br />
• Construction of neural cell model systems to study CNS<br />
function development and diseases<br />

Neurons plated on <strong>BD</strong> BioCoat LM/HFN Cellware form extensive connections. Once<br />
adherence to the substrate occurs, there is extension of the growth cone as it grows<br />
toward a target. Neurites respond to neurotransmitter by extending filopodia which<br />
contain actin.<br />
the following cell types have been cultured on<br />
<strong>BD</strong> Biocoat PDl/lm or Plo/lm cultureware:<br />
• Embyronic rat sympathetic neurons 2<br />
• Glial feeder layers as a substrate for neurons 3<br />
• Embyronic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) 4<br />
• E18 hippocampal neurons 5<br />
• Mouse striatal cells 6<br />
• Cerebellar macroneurons 7<br />
• Rat astrocytes 8<br />
• Adult human bone marrow stem cells 11<br />
• N2a, Sc2Na neuroral cells 9<br />
