Figures

Figure 1
Confocal views of NG2 cells at intact dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) under low (left panel) and high magnification (right panel). A wholemount section of dorsal spinal cord was prepared from an adult transgenic mouse in which GFP expression is driven by an NG2 promoter (NG2-lck-eGFP). Arrows (white) point to cell bodies of NG2 cells. Note the dense network of NG2 cells and processes formed specifically in the central nervous system (CNS) territory of the DREZ (left panel). Arrowheads (red) indicate pericytes present along blood vessels. Both NG2 cells and pericytes are labeled in this mouse line due to their expression of NG2 proteoglycan. GFP: Green fluorescent protein.
