- Abstract: Aim To explore and optimize the different separation and purification methods of neural stem cells (NSCs) , and compare the cell viability and purity after separation and purification.Methods (X) Separation of NSCs: The brains of ICR mice born within 24 h were isolated ( the cerebellum and olfactory bulb removed) , chopped and digested by mechanical pipetting, trypsin digestion, and PDD enzyme digestion.After sieving and centrifugation, the brain tissues were inoculated at a concentration of 1 X 10 • L , and cultured in serum-free medium to observe and compare the activity, proliferation and number of miscellaneous cells.(2) Purification of NSCs: The brain tissues of mice born within 24 h were isolated, and NSCs were purified by differential centrifugation and sieving, and the purity was identi-fied by immunofluorescence.Results NSCs separated by PDD enzyme digestion had high survival rate and rapid proliferation rate; the Nestin positive rate of NSCs in both Sieving assay and Differential centrifugation assay groups was higher than that of primary NSCs (59.14% ± 0.16% , P <0.05) , and the former (93.54% ± 0.02%) was higher than the latter (86.12% ± 0.04% ) .Conclusions The three separation methods can obtain a large amount of NSCs.Among them, the PDD enzymatic digestion method has little damage to the NSCs, and the neuro-sphere proliferation speed is fast; the NSCs obtained by the sieving assay have higher purity.
