Has anyone cultured upper or lower motor neurons from rat spinal cord?

16 July 2015 1 1K Report

I am interested in testing pharmacological agents on sensory and motor neurons. My experience with cell culture is limited to aggressive tumor cells which culture quite easily. I have two questions:

1) Have you successfully cultured motor neurons from adult (or embryonic) rat spinal cords?

2) If so, can you elaborate on the critical parameters for successful cultures of these notoriously uncooperative cells?
