scRNA-seq for the monkey cortex
To isolation of high-yield and viable brain cells including neurons and neural progenitors from adult primate brains, we have developed a reproducible whole-cell dissociation procedure for isolation of primary brain cells from adult and aged primates, with high-yield progenitor, immature and mature neural cells. We verified the viability of isolated cells and identified the main cell type with canonical markers. Furthermore, isolated primate neural progenitors by this our protocol is viable enough for culturing in vitro. This dataset is a detailed single cell RNA-sequencing results for two primate brain regions: primary visual cortex and prefrontal cortex.
