TUJ1 and nestin immunoreactivity in vz and cp dissociates

Region	Total nestin+ (%)	Total TUJ1+ (%)	Nestin+ only (%)	TUJ1+ only (%)	Both (%)
vz	83.4  ± 5.2	35.6  ± 7.3	64.4	16.6	19.0
cp	23.2  ± 5.6	87.7  ± 1.8	12.4	77.0	10.7

n = 7. Characterization of the vz and cp dissociates by immunocytochemistry. After dissociation the two populations were double-labeled with anti-nestin and TUJ1 antibodies. The majority of vz cells expresses nestin only (64.4%), indicating that they are precursor cells. Neurons identified by TUJ1 staining comprise 35.6% of the vz population. The majority of cp cells was neurons (87.7%); only 12.4% of the cp cells stained for nestin-only. Values are mean ± SEM.
