FIGURE 5. AORGs rarely express astroglial markers, and are not oligodendroglia.

FIGURE 5

(A) High magnification confocal three-dimensional reconstructions reveal that AORGs (green, arrow) do not express GFAP (red, arrowheads indicate GFAP-positive astroglial processes). (B) AORGs occasionally express S100®; an AORG (large arrow) with an S100®-positive process (small arrows). AORGs are often immunonegative for S100® (arrowheads). (C) AORGs (arrows) do not express A2B5 (arrowheads). (D-F) AORGs (arrows) do not express the oligodendroglial markers NG2 (D, arrowheads), CNPase (E, arrowheads), or GalC (F). Scale bar in (A), 10 ⌈m for panels A through F.
