Anti-EPO Antibody Infusion into Lateral Ventricles
Objective: To examine the effects of anti-EPO antibody infusion into adult lateral ventricles on neural stem cell numbers and neurogenesis in the subventricular zone and olfactory bulb
This is a Anti-EPO Antibody Infusion into Lateral Ventricles protocol using Not explicitly stated in provided text as the model organism. The procedure involves 4 procedural steps, 1 equipment items, 2 materials. Extracted from a 2001 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Estimated timing pending
Core workflow
Prepare anti-EPO antibody solution • Infuse anti-EPO antibodies into lateral ventricles • Assess neural stem cell numbers in subventricular zone
Primary readouts
- Number of neural stem cells in the subventricular zone
- Number of newly generated cells migrating to the olfactory bulb
- Number of new olfactory bulb interneurons
Key equipment and reagents
Use this page as an execution guide, then fall back to the source paper whenever you need exact exclusions, dosing details, or assay-specific caveats.
Confirm first
- Verify the animal model, intervention setup, and collection timepoints against the source paper.
- Check that every direct vendor link matches the exact specification your lab plans to run.
Use the page like this
- Work through the protocol steps in order and use the inline vendor chips only when you need to source or verify an item.
- Jump to Experimental Context for readouts, data shape, and analysis flow before planning downstream analysis.

“Infusion of anti-EPO antibodies had the opposite effect: an increase in the number of NSCs in the subventricular zone”
Infuse anti-EPO antibodies into lateral ventricles
Administer anti-EPO antibodies directly into the adult lateral ventricles
Note: Direct infusion into lateral ventricles of adult animals

“Infusion of anti-EPO antibodies had the opposite effect: an increase in the number of NSCs in the subventricular zone and a decrease in the number of newly generated cells migrating to the bulb”
Assess neural stem cell numbers in subventricular zone
Quantify the number of neural stem cells in the subventricular zone following anti-EPO antibody infusion
Note: Anti-EPO antibody infusion resulted in increased NSC numbers

Measure newly generated cells migrating to olfactory bulb
Quantify the number of newly generated cells migrating from the subventricular zone to the olfactory bulb
Note: Anti-EPO antibody infusion resulted in decreased migration to the bulb
