Figure 5

Analysis by SEM of precursors in the adult SEZ.

Representative SEM images of the indicated sorted populations (A) and of the apical surface of the SEZ in whole-mount (B). Arrows and arrowhead point to uniciliated cells with seemingly a long (arrows) and a short (arrowhead) cilium. Asterisk points to two closely localized long cilia, which may belong to a biciliated E2 cell. Higher magnification view of the inset in (a) and a detail of the tips of cilia in ependymal multiciliated E1 cells are shown in (a′) and (c), respectively. Scale bars: 1 um and 200 nm in higher magnification views. (C) Quantitative analysis of the percentage of DiI+ labeled cells (a) and relative clonogenic activity (b) in sorted P+/Eh and P/Eh populations. n = 3. * indicates significantly different from the P/Eh counterpart, ANOVA.
