Abstract: ObjectiveTo introduce a method of promoting neural stem cells proliferation.MethodsNeural stem cells were cultured with medium DMEM containing 10% fatal bovine serum for 48 h, then changed medium DMEM/F12 containing epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and B27. Immunohistochemistry was used to identify nestin expression.ResultsNeural stem cells got together fast and formed neurospheres within 48 h and expressed nestin. ConclusionPro-culture with serum can promotes neural stem cell proliferation.

Key words: neural stem cell, pre-culture, serum, proliferation
