Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) isolated from 5 days old mouse hippocampus are multipotent.

<p>These NPCs can proliferate and self-renew in culture, as demonstrated by the expression of proliferation marker, Ki67 and the standard NPCs markers, Nestin, Sox2, BLBP and Vimentin (A). All DAPI positive cells are positive for Nestin and the dividing cells are labeled with EdU (B). Scale bar = 20 µm.
