Fig. 5. Cells originating from the caudal ganglionic eminence can migrate
ventrally. (A) Summary of the type of graft and the results obtained after 60
hours of incubation. (B) A caudal ganglionic eminence (CGE) transplant shows
GFP-positive cells migrating ventrally in two streams: a medial stream and a
lateral stream. The arrows indicate that a few cells have reached the anterior
hypothalamus. (C-F) Double immunofluorescence of GFP (green) and COUP-TFI
(C,D) or COUP-TFII (red); E,F) on adjacent sections of the graft shown in B.
Note that all GFP-positive cells have a leading process oriented ventrally
(arrows), but that only COUP-TFI is double positive for GFP (insets in C,D).
ant hypo, anterior hypothalamus; LS, lateral stream; MS, medial stream.
