nCounter® Neuropathology Panel
Helping Your Research
Biomarker discovery and signature development are essential for identification of novel therapies and for earlier detection and development of therapies for neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The nCounter Neuropathology Panel helps perform comprehensive multiplex gene expression analysis in human or mouse samples with genes involved in six fundamental themes of neurodegeneration: neurotransmission, neuron-glia interaction, neuroplasticity, cell structure integrity, neuroinflammation, and metabolism.
- Developed for research of Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Frontotemporal Dementia, Huntington’s Disease, and other neurological disorders
- Includes unique cell typing feature for measuring the abundance of five important CNS cell types, including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and endothelial cells

Product Information
Genes included in the Neuropathology Panels provide unique cell profiling data for measuring the abundance1 of five important cell types including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and endothelial cells. The table below summarizes each cell type represented in the panels along with the gene content qualified through current literature references.

Retrospective Validation of a 168-Gene Expression Signature for Glioma Classification on a Single Molecule Counting Platform.
Gene expression profiling has been shown to be comparable to other molecular methods for glioma classification. We sought to validate a gene-expression based glioma classification method.
Supratentorial ependymoma in childhood: more than just RELA or YAP.
Two distinct genetically defined entities of ependymoma arising in the supratentorial compartment are characterized by the presence of either a C11orf95-RELA or a YAP-MAMLD1 fusion, respectively. There is growing evidence that supratentorial ependymomas without these genetic features exist.
Acute colitis during chronic experimental traumatic brain injury in mice induces dysautonomia and persistent extraintestinal, systemic, and CNS inflammation with exacerbated neurological deficits.
Background: Disruptions of brain-gut axis have been implicated in the progression of a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and central nervous system (CNS) diseases and injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI is a chronic disease process characterized by persistent secondary injury processes which can be exacerbated by subsequent challenges.
