Abstract excerpt
The phenotype of proliferating glia is examined during postnatal rodent development by combining immunocytochemistry (ICC) with 3H-thymidine autoradiography (ARG) to identify cells in the S phase of the cell cycle. Antibodies (ABs) which are specific for cells in the oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage were utilized, with emphasis placed upon the proliferation of OLs as it remains unclear whether this cell type divides...
