  1. Frequencies of primary neurosphere-forming cells among GFP+ and GFP− cells within intact and GF/virus-injected tissues are quantified (mean±s.d., n=3). The numbers in parenthesis are fold-increments compared with intact tissue.
  2. *P<0.01 compared with intact tissue in Student’s t-test.
  3. †P<0.01 compared with GFP− cells in Student’s t-test.
