Nestin Reporter Transgene Labels Multiple Central Nervous System Precursor Cells

Figure 1

Embryonic proliferative neuroepithelia express eGFP. (a) Transgenic construct. (b) eGFP is expressed at high levels in the VZ and SVZ at E16. (c) Photomontage of coronal hemisection shows typical bright labelling of proliferative neuroepithelium in the developing cortex. Scale bar = 250 microns. (d) eGFP labels VZ cells in the third ventricle. Scale bar = 100 microns.
