A novel method of Schwann cell purification from neonatal rat sciatic was developed using differential adhesion. After enzymatic and mechanical dissociation, the cell digest is allowed to settle on polylysine-coated glass coverslips for 30 min with intermittent shaking. After an 18 h incubation, bipolar cells comprise > 95% of the non-adherent population. Indirect immunofluorescence with the cell-specific markers rabbit anti-galactocerebroside and rabbit anti-bovine-P-2 basic protein antiserum confirmed light microscopic identification of these bipolar cells as Schwann cells. Rabbit anti-human fibronectin specifically labeled fibroblasts which comprised < 5% of the cell population, but did not bind to Schwann cells. Schwann cells isolated by differential adhesion were injected into a rabbit. When absorbed with cultured rat skin fibroblasts, serum from this rabbit specifically surface labeled > 99% of the bipolar and round cells after 18 h and 5 days in vitro and also labeled Schwann cells in fetal rat dorsal root ganglia cultures, but not fibroblasts or neurons.
