1. Mice or rats were anesthe;zed by an intraperitoneal injec;on of either 230 mg/kg Sodium Pentobarbital or
400mg/kg Aver;n, followed by euthanasia.
2. Remove the brain and transfer to a 50-ml tube to a 10-cm petri dish (CLS430591) containing 20 ml of cold
Solu;on A (1XHBSS (H8264) containing 30 mM glucose (G7021), 2 mM Hepes (H0887), 26 mM NaHCO3
(S5761)). Place a small piece of filter paper onto Tissue Chopper, slightly wet the filter paper using a wet
sterile swab, and then set the brain onto the wet filter paper using curved-pointed forceps. Chop brain into
400-um coronal sec;ons and use wet sterile swab to collect the sec;ons containing SVZ (~6 sec;ons) and
hippocampus (~5 sec;ons) into a 6-cm petri dish (CLS430589) filled with 5 ml of Solu;on A.
Cri0cal step: Keep the petridish containing brain sec@ons and solu@on A on ice during the chopping and
dissec@on.
3. Dissect out the SVZ and the Dentate Gyrus (Brain Map) under a dissec;ng microscope and keep the
dissected ;ssue in separate 15-ml Falcon tubes (CLS430791), each containing 10 ml of cold Solu;on A.
Cri0cal step: This and subsequent steps are op@mized for isola@ng NSCs from the SVZ and DG prepara@on
of one mouse. If you plan to isolate cells from pooled @ssues of more than one mouse, we recommend that
you add the step of Percoll (P4937) purifica@on to remove excess myelin and other cell types
4. AMer finishing the dissec;on of all the brain sec;ons, spin down the 0ssue chunks in a low-speed centrifuge
at 200 g for 1 min at room temperature (20–25°C).
5. In the TC hood remove the supernatant and add 1 ml of 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA (59417C) to each 15-ml
conical tubes containing ;ssue chunks. Rotate the conical tubes at room temperature for 10-20 min.
Cau0on: Do not incubate longer than 30 min, as this will decrease the viability of the cells.
6. Add 1ml μl of Trypsin Inhibitor Solu0on (T7659) into each tube and rotate for another 10-20 min. Cau0on:
Do not incubate longer than 30 min, as this will reduce the viability of the cells.

7. Pre-wet a fire-polished glass pipeke to triturate 0ssue by pipeOng up and down 10–20 ;mes un;l there
is no ;ssue clump, and then add 8 ml of N2 medium (DMEM/F-12 (D6429), N2 supplement (SCM012),
L-glutamine (G7513) to each tube. Pellet the cells at 200 g for 5 min at room temperature.
Cau0on: Avoid genera@ng air bubbles when tritura@ng the @ssue, as this will reduce the viability of the cells.
Cri0cal step: It is important to dissociate the SVZ and the DG to single cells, as any remaining aggregates
can result in reduced yield.
8. Wash cells twice with 10 ml of N2 Medium, spin down at 200 g for 5 min at room temperature each ;me.
9. If you are isola;ng cells from pooled ;ssues of 2 or more mice, re-suspend each cell pellet with 5.5 ml of N2
medium, add 5.5 ml of Percoll/PBS solu;on, and mix by inver;ng the tubes. Pellet the cells at 400 g for 15
min at room temperature. Then wash the cells 3 ;mes with 10 ml N2 medium and spin down at 200 g for 5
min at room temperature each ;me to collect cells.
Cri0cal step: Gently remove the supernatant, as the pellet may not be firmly aWached to the boWom of the
tube. Cri@cal step: It is cri@cal to remove Percoll by washing thoroughly, as residual Percoll will affect cell
viability.
10. Wash one more 0me with 8 ml of Ini0al Prolifera0on Medium (IPM) (Neural Stem Cell Basal Medium
(SCM003), B27 (SCM013), L-glutamine (G7513), 1X Pen-Strep (P4333), 20 ng/ml of FGF-2 (F0291), and 20
ng/ml EGF (E9644)).
11. Re-suspend each cell pellet with 1 ml of IPM for DG, 2 ml of IPM for SVZ, and then plate cells into one well
of a 24-well ;ssue culture plate (CLS3527) for DG, and 2 wells for SVZ cells. Incubate cells in the CO2
incubator for 48h.
12. Change half the IPM, avoiding removing any cells. Con;nue to incubate cells for 7–14 days, changing half
the IPM every other day and monitoring the cells for the forma;on of neurospheres. Neuropheres should
form in both cultures in 1–2 weeks.

1. Uses two SMAD inhibitors, Noggin (SRP4675) and SB431542 (S4317), to drive the rapid
differen;a;on of ES/iPS cells into a highly enriched popula;on of NPCs.
2. Use small molecule-based differen;a;on method, which relies on three small molecules to
inhibit GSK-3β, CHIR99021 (SML1046), TGFβ, SB431542 (S4317), and Notch, Compound E
(565790) signaling pathways, along with human LIF (LIF1010). This new small molecule-based
neural differen;a;on protocol increased neural differen;a;on kine;cs and allowed the
deriva;on of truly mul;potent neural stem cells that respond to regional pakerning cues
specifying forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain neural and glial subtypes.

1. propaga;on and differen;a;on of NSCs, dilute laminin (L2020) to final concentra;on of 5 μg/ml.
Use 2 mL volume for 3.5 cm plates, 3-5 mL volume for 6 cm plates and 7-10 mL volume for 10-cm plates
and T75 flasks. Incubate in a humidified 37C incubator for at least 1 hour. Coated plates and flasks can be
stored in the laminin solu;on at 2-8C for 3 weeks or at -20C for 6-8 months. Just before use, bring the
coated plates or flasks up to room temperature and aspirate the laminin solu;on. Rinse the plates once
with 1X PBS (806552) before use.
2. Remove the vial of Neural Progenitor Cells (SCC007, SCC008, SCR055, SCC035) from liquid nitrogen and
incubate in a 37C water bath. Closely monitor un;l the cells are completely thawed. Maximum cell viability
is dependent on the rapid and complete thawing of frozen cells.
IMPORTANT: Do not vortex the cells.
3. As soon as the cells are completely thawed, disinfect the outside of the vial with 70% ethanol. In a laminar
flow hood, use a 1 or 2 mL pipeke to transfer the cells to a sterile 15 mL conical tube. Be careful to not
introduce any bubbles during the transfer process.
4. Using a 10 mL pipeke, slowly add dropwise 9 mL Neural Expansion Medium (SCM005, SCM004)
(pre-warmed to 37C) to the 15 mL conical tube.
IMPORTANT: Do not add the whole volume of medium at once to the cells. This may result in decreased
cell viability due to osmo@c shock.
5. Gently mix the cell suspension by slow pipexng up and down twice. Be careful to not introduce any
bubbles. IMPORTANT: Do not vortex the cells.
6. Centrifuge the tube at room temperature at 200 x g for 3-5 minutes to pellet the cells.

1. AMer 7–12 days of neurosphere culture (step 1-15 above), collect all primary spheres without
disturbing the akached cells; spin at 200 g for 5 min at room temperature.
2. Carefully remove the medium and add 1 ml of 0.05% trypsin/EDTA (59417C) to each tube.
Dissociate the spheres using a 1-ml blue ;p by pipexng up and down 20 ;mes to digest the
spheres within 2 min. Add 1 ml of Trypsin Inhibitor Solu;on (T7659) to each tube and pipeke up
and down 10 more ;mes. Add 5 ml of IPM to each tube, mix by inver;ng the tubes a few ;mes,
and pellet the cells at 200 g for 5 min at room temperature.
3. Re-suspend the DG cell pellet in 1 ml of IPM and the SVZ cell pellet in 2 ml of N2 medium. Dilute
a 10-μl aliquot from each sample in 10 μl of 0.5% Trypan blue (T8154) and count viable cells using
a hemocytometer.
4. Plate the DG cells into one well of a 24-well plate, and the SVZ cells into one well of 6-well plate
and incubate cells.
5. Replace half the medium with fresh IPM for the DG cells and fresh N2 medium for the SVZ cells
every other day for 1 week. Avoid taking any cells out when changing out half the medium.
AMer the first passage, maintain the DG and the SVZ NSCs in N2 medium and passage NSCs by
seeding at 3X104 -1X105 cells/ml every 2–3 days.
