Abstract: The aim was to establish a method for culture of neural stem cells (NSCs) isolated from the hippocampus in human embryo, to prevent differentiation of them and to explore a suitable time and technique for passaging. NSCs were isolated from the hippocampus of 16-weeks old human embryo by using serum-free mediums with different conditions. The numbers of neurospheres in different mediums were counted and compared. Results: The suitable culture conditions and passage intervals were found for the culture of NSCs. The results show that the NSCs can be remained in an indifferentiated situation under the anti-differentiation condition in vitro and also can be passaged continuously.

Key words: neural stem cells, culture, passage
