<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 />

• Primary embryonic cortical neurons 10
