Abstrakt: The isolation and culturing of rodent retinal ganglion cells (RGC) is a key step in studying the function and cellular response of this crucial cell type. Typical methods used for isolation of RGCs include immunopanning or magnetic bead separation with antibodies targeting RGC specific protein markers. However, in developmental research, many of the most common markers, such as Thy-1, are not expressed in early stages of development. To help study these crucial early stage RGCs, we have developed a novel method that utilizes a transgenic mouse with a GFP tag on the protein BRN3 and a low-pressure fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) system.
