Table 1. Cell populations immunolabeled and collected by FACS from human fetal cortex for RNA-seq analysis.

Dissociated fetal human cortical tissue was immunolabeled for radial glial progenitor markers LeX (CD15), GLAST (SLC1A3), and PROM1 (Prominin; CD133). LeX and Glast are detected on the vast majority of radial glial cells1618, while Prom1 is specific to the apical membrane domain found at the ventricular surface19,20.
