Figure Lengend Snippet: Establishment of F3.NGB human neural stem cells. (A) F3.NGB cells are constructed via the transfection of F3 human neural stem cells with a plasmid vector encoding human NGB gene. (B) RT-PCR analysis of NGB mRNA and protein expression. (C) Immunocytochemical identification of NGB protein in F3 and F3.NGB cells. (D) Immunocytochemical staining of nestin to assess stemness. F3.NGB cells exhibit nestin expression comparable to parental F3 cells, indicating that NGB overexpression does not alter neural stem cell characteristics.
Article Snippet: For the overexpression of NGB ( NM_021257.4 ), cDNA clones of human NGB including HindIII (N-terminal) and Xba I (C-terminal) sites were obtained from Bioneer Corp. (Daejeon, Korea).
