Abstract
The glial cells, especially the astroglia constitute a prominent part of the brain cell volume. Astroglial properties are difficult to study in the intact nervous system. For that reason, different in vitro models have been developed. The development of cell and tissue cultivation conditions has been the prerequisite to our present knowledge of the biochemistry and pharmacology of glial cells and to some extent even neurons. It is, however, an advantage if results from tissue culture can be evaluated in more in vivo like systems. We here describe a method for acute isolation of freshly prepared neurons and glial cells.
