NG2-expressing cells are not microglia or neurons. a, b Frontal sections of the neocortex from a hydrocephalic hyh mouse immunostained for NG2 (green) and Iba1 (red). Seventy-two micron Z projection. Microglial cells were immunonegative for NG2 (arrowheads). NG2 cells are indicated with arrows. c, d Frontal sections of the neocortex from a hyh mouse immunostained for NG2 (green) and NeuN (red) (18 µm Z projection in c). Details in a 1 µm-thick plane are shown in d. NG2 cells (arrows in d) present smaller nuclei compared to neurons (arrowheads in d). gm grey matter, v lateral ventricle lumen, wm white matter. The nuclei were stained blue with DAPI
