Characterization of NECs in zone 1. Double-labelling in case 16 (232 dpi) confirmed nestin-expressing pyramidal-like cells (arrow) but no co-expression of NeuN (A) or GFAP (B). (C) In case 5 (10 dpi), nestin-positive processes were observed in zone 1 with focal colocalization with GFAP. (D) The degree of colocalization between nestin and GFAP in four cases in zone 1 (cases 5, 11, 16 and 17 with injury of 10, 28, 232 and 301 days old, respectively) decreased with increasing dpi [R2 = 0.8822, Spearman correlation (r) = 0.939]. (E) Confocal image of zone 1 in case 3 (8 dpi) showed central localization of nestin filaments in some cells with peripheral arrangement of GFAP-positive filaments. (F) NECs expressing PAX6 and GFAP (arrow) were also observed in zone 1. *ICE central cavity on images. Scale bars = 50 μm (A and B), 20 μm (C and E) and 10 μm (F).
