Cells were obtained from P8 old animals. They were categorized according to Math1-EGFP expression and cadherin-immunostatus as shown in Fig 3 (left hand column). Of all Math1-EGFP negative cells, some 8.8 ± 1.0% (mean ± 1 SD; n = 7; 95% confidence interval, 6.8 – 10.8%) were classified as not in G1 or G0. Note that cells immunopositive for cadherins P, R, E and 5 comprise a fraction in S, G2 or M phase that exceeds the 95% confidence interval of controls, indicating hat they are, or include a subset of, highly proliferative cells.
