The Appropriate Marker for Astrocytes: Comparing the Distribution and Expression of Three Astrocytic Markers in Different Mouse Cerebral Regions

<p><i>The distribution of astrocytes labeled by NDRG2, GFAP and S100<i>β</i> throughout the cerebrum</i>. Representative immunofluorescence images of astrocytes labeled by GFAP and NDRG2 (a), S100<i>β</i>, and NDRG2 (b), GFAP and S100<i>β</i> (c) in the cerebrum of the adult male mice (6 months) at low magnification. Region 1: dorsal cortex; Region 2: ventral cortex; Region 3: corpus callosum; Region 4: hippocampus; Region 5: thalamus; Region 6: cerebral peduncle. n = 6. Scale bars = 500 <i>μ</i>m.</p>
