CD60b: Enriching Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells from Rat Development into Adulthood

Figure 7

Quantification of neurospheres derived from CD60b-positive and CD60b-negative cells. (a–c) Neurospheres derived from CD60b-positive cells from E16 (a), P21 (b), and adult (c) rats. (d–f) Neurospheres derived from CD60b-negative cells in E16 (d), P21 (e), and adult (f) rats. (g–i) Quantification of the number of neurospheres derived from CD60b-positive and CD60b-negative cells in E16 (g), P21 (h), and adult (i) rats. We can note that CD60b-positive cells were able to generate more neurospheres when compared to the negative population in all the tested developmental stages. (j–l) Quantification of the diameter of neurospheres derived from CD60b-positive and CD60b-negative cells in E16 (j), P21 (k), and adult (l) rats. We can note that in P21 animals, the diameter of neurospheres generated from CD60b-positive cells was higher than the diameter of neurospheres generated from CD60b-negative cells. Scale bar: 1000 μm (a-b and d-e); 200 μm (c, f). ; ; .
