The Neuro-2a cell line is established by the brain tissue of albino house mice with neuroblastoma, and it is a reliable transfection host due to its neuron and amoeba morphology. How to buy Neuro-2a Transfection Reagent, which is an optimized reagent based on cationic liposomes, which is specially used for transfection of Neuro-2a cell line, which can deliver satisfactory results.
Introduction of Neuron cells
Neuron cells are nerve cells, the most basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system, divided into two parts:
- Cell body
- Protrusion
The cell body consists of nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm, and has the function of connecting and integrating incoming and outgoing information.
There are two types of protrusions: dendrites and axons. Dendrites are short and multi-branched, extending and protruding directly from the cell body to form dendrites. Their function is to accept the impulses from the axons of other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. The axon is long, with few branches, and is an elongated protrusion of uniform thickness. In addition to the branches of the axon, the ends of the axons form branch-like nerve endings. The endings are distributed in some tissues and organs, forming various nerve ending devices. Sensory nerve endings form various receptors; motor nerve endings are distributed in skeletal muscles to form the ultimate movement.
