Sentence examples for marker for neurons from inspiring English sources

Substance P is a marker for neurons of the direct striatal output pathway (striatonigral neurons), whereas enkephalin is expressed in indirect pathway (striatopallidal) neurons.

However, a very small numbers of the cells expressed GFAP, a marker for astrocytes, O4, a marker for immature oligodendrocytes, and βIII-tubulin, a marker for neurons.

Very small fractions, typically 0.5% or less, of the cells expressed GFAP (Figure 2 B), a marker for astrocytes, βIII tubulin, a marker for neurons, and O4, a marker for immature oligodendrocytes.

A second series was stained for NeuN, which is a selective marker for neurons that helps visualize the extent of any lesion.

These neurons express both the sex-specific transcripts of the fruitless gene (fru+), a marker for neurons likely to have sex-specific functions, and pickpocket (ppk +), which is believed to encode a marker for proprioceptive neurons [ 14 17].

As the RNAi vector had a green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression cassette within it, the cells with green fluorescence were therefore transfected cells; microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2; red) was used as a marker for neurons.

Mouse anti-NeuN conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (1 100), mouse anti-GFAP conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (1 100) or rat anti-CD68 (1 100) were applied as marker for neuron, astrocyte or microglial cells, respectively.

Therefore, we used NeuN (RBFOX3) as marker for neuron density and found a significant reduction in NeuN in the AD patients compared with NDC above 72 years of age (p = 0.006, Figure  2B), whereas no differences between these groups in kif21b expression were found.

Cux1/Cux2, cut-like homeobox 1/2, are upper layer-specific markers for neurons, which participate in the fundamental regulation of the late neuronal differentiation, spine formation, dendritic branching, and synaptogenesis in upper-layer (L2-3) neurofs of the cortex [ 33, 34].

Antibodies against the markers for neurons- β-III tubulin (1∶1000, Promega, Madison, USA) and astrocytes-GFAP (1∶500, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) were used.

In contrast, the expression of several genes considered to be markers for neurons, oligodendrocytes or microglia [23] was low or absent (Fig. 2), confirming that the samples were indeed free from contaminating mRNAs from other cell types.
