Tabulated results of clonal size and morphology assays described in Figure 3, A and B, and Figure 4 A–D. In all conditions, only clones containing transfected (GFP+) cells were counted; 50–80 clones were counted per condition. Young OPCs were transfected after 7 DIV in +PDGF -T3 medium; older OPCs were transfected after 28 DIV in +PDGF -T3 medium and then cultured 4 DIV +PDGF ±T3. ″OPC clones″ contain <50% OLs (by morphology); ″OL clones″ contain ≥50% morphologically complex OL-like cells. Hours per division are calculated as 96 h/log2 (average OPC clone size). All data presented are ± SEM or SE of the proportion in percentage of OL clones.
