Proliferation and differentiation of rat neuroepithelial precursor cells in vivo
K Frederiksen and RD McKay
Departments of Biology and Brain Science, Whitaker College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge 02139.
Important features of adult neuronal number, location, and type are a
consequence of early embryonic events that occur before neurons have
differentiated. We have measured cell number during embryogenesis of the
rat CNS. Markers that are expressed in the proliferating neuronal precursor
are required to study the mechanisms controlling their proliferation and
differentiation. By applying immunohistochemistry, fluorescence-activated
cell sorting, and 3H-thymidine auto-radiography to dissociated rat CNS
cells, we show that the monoclonal antibody Rat 401 recognizes a cell
population with proliferative, temporal, and quantitative features expected
of neuronal precursors.
