Characterization of Progenitor Cells during Canine Retinal Development

Figure 2

Immunofluorescent staining of C-kit (a and d), Pax6 ((b) and (e)) and Nestin ((c) and (f)) in the retina from dog embryos. The expression was observed in the NBL, examined in combination with Nomarski optics. Inserts present a panoramic view of the pattern of expression for the C-kit, Pax6 and Nestin. (g) Confocal image showing the proliferation of cells stained with H3. (h) The same figure presented in (g) but here the C-kit positive cells are evident. (i) Merged image showing cells expressing both C-kit (blue) and H3 (red) proteins in combination with Nomarski optics.
