Abstract
This protocol describes the generation of a rapidly myelinating central nervous system coculture for the study of complex neuronal-glial interactions in vitro. Postnatal rat retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) purified by immunopanning are promoted to cluster into reaggregates and then allowed to extend dense beds of radial axons for 10-14 d. Subsequently, rodent oligodendrocyte precursor cells are purified by immunopanning, transfected if desired, and seeded on top of the RGC reaggregates. Under the conditions described here, compact myelin can be observed within 6 d.
