Hi every one,
I was interested to know, are the PC12 cell lines used for neural differentiation investigation instead of neural progenitor/precursor cell ? how much do they have the same properties as these neural progenitor cell?
Thanks
Hello,
I think the answer is yes.
PC12 cells stop dividing and terminally differentiate when treated with nerve growth factor or dexamethasone. This makes PC12 cell lines useful as a model system for neuronal differentiation and neurosecretion.
If you need the PC12, maybe you can search this:

Hi
Yes, PC12 is one of the best model to study neuronal differentiation studies. These cells get differentiated with the help of NGF and will work as a perfect model of neuronal development, differentiation and neurosecretion.
Hope it helps
Thanks
