Figure Lengend Snippet: Timp2 , Timp3 , and Timp4 are highly expressed in slowly dividing NPCs. (A) The scheme for isolating rapidly dividing and slowly dividing NPCs. H2B-GFP was transiently induced at E9.5 and the LGE was dissected at E17.5. NPCs were defined as cells positive for NPC marker CD133, negative for neuronal marker CD24, and negative for endothelial marker Isolectin B 4 . (B) Representative flow cytometric histogram of H2B-GFP fluorescence intensity. Rapidly dividing NPCs (bottom 10% of NPCs for H2B-GFP intensity) and slowly dividing NPCs (top 10% of NPCs for H2B-GFP intensity) were collected. (C) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis of Timp2 , Timp3 , and Timp4 mRNAs. Data are means ± SEM ( n = 3 independent experiments). * p < 0.05 by two-tailed paired t test.
Article Snippet: Dissociated cells were incubated first for 15 min on ice in 0.2% bovine serum albumin (BSA)/phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with primary antibodies—PE/Cy7 anti-CD133 (1:100, BioLegend Cat# 141210, RRID:AB_2564069), APC anti-CD24 (1,100, BioLegend Cat# 101814, RRID:AB_439716), and anti-Isolectin B 4 (biotin conjugate) (1,1,000, Sigma-Aldrich Cat# L2140, RRID:AB_2313663)—and then for 5 min on ice in 0.2% BSA/PBS with Streptavidin PE (1,500, eBioscience Cat# 12-4317-87).
