Ray, Jasodhara; San Diego, CA, USA | | Summary: | Described herein are methods of producing conditionally-immortalised human central nervous system progenitor cells, which may be clonal or for use in generating neurons or astrocytes. Therapeutic applications of such cell lines and differentiated cells are provided, such as in the development of agents useful in the prevention and treatment of CNS-related diseases and in assays for the study of CNS cell development and abnormalities. | | Abstract: | Conditionally-immortalized human CNS progenitor cell lines are provided. Such cell lines, which may be clonal, may be used to generate neurons and/or astrocytes. Such cell lines and/or differentiated cells may be used for the development of therapeutic agents to prevent and treat a variety of CNS-related diseases. Such cell lines and/or differentiated cells may also be used in assays and for the general study of CNS cell development, death and abnormalities. | | US Patent Website: | Click Here for Full Text of Patent | | Title Number: | US6713247 | | Application Number: | US1996000711628 | | Date Filed: | 03/09/1996 | | Date Published: | 30/03/2004 | | Assignee: | Signal Pharmaceuticials, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA |
