Fig. 1. Spinal cord olig2+ cells include diverse cell types.
(A-H) Transverse sections of Tg[olig2:egfp] embryos. Antibodies
indicated on each panel. (A) Twenty-four hpf embryo. Arrows indicate
olig2:EGFP+, Isl+ motoneurons. (B) Thirty-six
hpf embryo. Arrows and arrowheads mark olig2:EGFP+,
Neurolin+ SMNs and olig2:EGFP+,
Neurolin- cells, respectively. (C) Forty-eight hpf embryo treated
with BrdU from 36 to 48 hpf. Arrows mark olig2:EGFP+,
BrdU+ cells (yellow). (D) Three dpf embryo.
olig2:EGFP+ cells include Hu+ neurons
(arrowheads), dorsally and ventrally migrated Hu- OPCs (asterisks)
and Hu- cells with radial morphology (arrows). (E) Three dpf
embryo. Arrows and arrowheads mark olig2:EGFP+,
zrf-1+ radial cells. Asterisks mark dorsally migrated OPCs. (F)
EGFP expression, alone, of section shown in E. (G,H) Twenty-four hpf embryo.
Anti-GABA labeling reveals olig2:EGFP+ KA' and
putative VeLD interneurons and olig2:EGFP- KA''
interneurons. (I,J) Lateral confocal microscope images of 20 hpf (I) and 24
hpf (J) transgenic embryos showing olig2:EGFP+,
GABA+ VeLD interneurons, olig2:EGFP+,
GABA+ KA' interneurons and olig2:EGFP-,
GABA+ KA'' interneurons. Arrowheads in I mark descending axons
of VeLD neurons. Scale bar: 20 µm.
