Fig. 6. Co-expression of neuronal and glial markers in individual cells in Sox2 mutant cultures. Double immunofluorescence (β-tubulin and GFAP) of normal (wt) and mutant (mut) day 9-differentiated cells. Typical wild-type neurons (β-tubulin positive) show extensive arborization, are closely associated with glia (which are GFAP positive), and are GFAP negative (top row). Rare cells with a very undifferentiated morphology are weakly positive for both markers (top, arrowhead). In mutant, various arborized cells are positive for both β-tubulin and GFAP (second row, arrowhead; third row, two arborized cells). Well-developed astrocytes are GFAP positive, but β-tubulin negative (arrows, rows 2, 4). In mutant, some intensely β-tubulin stained cells with neuronal morphology are also present (fourth row, arrowhead); these cells are GFAP-negative, as in wild type.
