FIGURE 7. Analysis of progenitor cells at embryonic stages (Sox2, DCX, PH3). Micrographs of transverse sections through the pallium of Xenopus laevis at embryonic stages 37/38 (A–D,I,L) and 42 (E–H,J,K,M,N) showing the codistribution of the progenitor marker Sox2 (A,E) and the neuroblast marker DCX (B,F) in combination to DAPI (D,H), and the combination of DCX with the mitotic marker PH3 (I–K). In each panel the developmental stage and the color code for the used markers are indicated. All micrographs are confocal images, and the higher magnifications (L,M,N) correspond to the framed areas, as indicated (white boxes in C,G,K). At the ventricular zone there were observed double labeled cells for Sox2 and DCX (see arrowheads in A–C, E–G), and those cells were mitotic cells (see white circles and filled arrowheads in D,H). Additional double labeled cells were observed away from the ventricle (see empty arrowheads in E–H). The combination of DCX and PH3 showed double DCX/PH3 labeled cells in the ventricle and away from it (see arrowheads in I,J). Scale bars = 25 μm (A–H,L,M), 50 μm (I–K). See list for abbreviations.
