Figure 3. Embryonic AspM descendants give raise to neuronal and glial cell lineages in the adult brain.

Figure 3

P30 coronal sections of AspM-CreERT2/Rosa26YFP double transgenic mice (n = 4) injected with Tam at the embryonic stages of E12.7 and E13.2 were assayed for YFP detection in the cerebral cortex. Cell counts were performed in a region encompassing the anterior bregma +1.2 and the posterior bregma −0.5. 63.1% (±2.8) of YFP+ cells in the cortex expressed NeuN (A, F), 31.3% (±2.1) expressed S100β (B, F), 12.2% (±0.8) Olig2 (C, F), 8.3% (±0.8) NG2 (D, F) and 4.7% (±2.5) CC1 (E, F). Percentages (±S.D.) are show in histogram plotted in panel F. Scale bar 100 µm.
