Isolation and Culture of Cells from the Nephrogenic Zone of the Embryonic Mouse Kidney


JoVE 2555 4/22/2011

1Department of Molecular Medicine, Maine Medical Center Research Institute, 2Molecular Medicine and Gene Therapy, Lund University Hospital

In this report we describe a method for the isolation and culture of the progenitor cell niche from the embryonic mouse kidney that can be used to study signaling pathways regulating stem/progenitor cells of the developing kidney. These cultured cells are highly accessible to small molecule and recombinant protein treatment, and importantly also to viral transduction, which allows efficient manipulation of candidate pathways.
