Purified CSMNs express CSMN and neuronal genes and not other neural genes. A, B, Comparison of expression levels of stereotypical neuronal, astrocyte, oligodendrocyte/oligodendrocyte precursor cell, and vascular cell (A) and CSMN-enriched (B) genes in purified CSMNs (black) and whole dissociated brain (gray) from P3 rats. Probe sets and expression values (arbitrary units) are shown in supplemental Table S2 (available at www.jneurosci.org as supplemental material). In cases where multiple probe sets are present for a single gene, the probe set with the highest expression was chosen. To fit the graph, the expression values for Syt1 and Snap25 were scaled down threefold for both samples.
