Enzyme and metabolic properties of isolated neurones


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT It would be a considerable help in investigations of the nervous system if it were possible to isolate neurones in large numbers with reasonably intact processes and completely free


from contamination. Methods for the separation of neuronal or glial cells have been based either on the microdissection techniques of Lowry1 and Hydén2, or on the dispersion of nervous


tissue and subsequent isolation of cells by hand collection3 or differential centrifugation4. Hand dissection enables rapid isolation of a few selected nerve cells the biochemical and


physiological properties of which appear to be normal5,6, whereas the mechanical process is lengthy and possibly too drastic. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
