Characterization of Sox-2⁺ cells in the neurogenic niches.

Abstract

<p>Confocal images showing Sox-2⁺ cells in the neurogenic niches. Representation of Sox-2⁺ cells in the SVZ that incorporate BrdU and Sox-2⁺ cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus that co-express Ki67. Examples of Sox-2⁺/DCX⁺ in the SVZ and Sox-2⁺/GFAP⁺ in the SGL of the dentate gyrus. There were no differences between the control and MPTP treated animals. Scale bar = 50 µm. Abbreviations: subventricular zone: SVZ; doublecortin: DCX; subgranular layer: SGL; 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6 tetrahydropyridine: MPTP.</p
