This data was obtained from our laboratory and all cell passage numbers were less than 20, except PC-12. PC-12 cells were passaged between 80-90. Culture condition for each cell type:  CAD (DMEM/F12 + 8%  FBS + 1% PS), N27 (RPMI +10% FBS + 1% PS), N2A (MEM + 10% FBS + 1% PS), PC-12 (RPMI + 5% FBS + 10% heat inactivatded horse serum + 1% PS), SH-SY5Y (DMEM/F12 + 10% FBS + 1% PS).
