Figure 1. Identification and characterization of NPCs in the adult ALS-like (Bi-Tg) and normal (pNes-Tg) mouse spinal cord.

Figure 1

Identification of NPCs in the ependymal zone surrounding central canal region (C.C.) of adult mouse spinal cord was performed by LacZ staining and nestin immunostaining (A). Characterization of NPCs in the ependymal zone surrounding central canal (C.C.: B and C), dorsal horn region (D.H.: D and E) and ventral horn region (V.H.: F) of pNes-Tg (B and D) and Bi-Tg (C, E and F) mouse spinal cord was conducted by LacZ staining and BrdU labeling. Notably, some of the LacZ positively stained NPCs in the ependymal zone were labeled with BrdU. In contrast, the NPCs from dorsal and ventral horn regions of the pNes-Tg and Bi-Tg mouse spinal cord were not labeled with BrdU.
