Distribution of the immunopositivity of nestin. (A) Nestin immunolabeling in a frontal section. Asterisks mark the shell, where nestin immunoreactivity is almost absent. Arrows indicate nestin-immunoreactive processes around vessel-like spaces. (B) Nestin (red) and vimentin (green) double immunolabeling in a frontal section. Arrows are as in (A); note, here, the co-localization (yellow or reddish-yellow). Asterisks indicate a shell-like area with immunoreactivity for vimentin but not nestin. Arrowheads show that ependymal cells lack nestin-immunoreactivity. The thalamus is also covered by ependyma. Scale, 100 µm. Abbreviations: 3V, third ventricle; Th, thalamus; PCh, choroid plexus; VHC, ventral hippocampal commissure.
