Lineage analysis of early neural plate cells: cells with purely neuronal fate coexist with bipotential neuroglial progenitors.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the lineage relationships of neurons and astroglial cells early in central nervous system development, we have analyzed the progeny of neural plate cells in an amphibian embryo (Pleurodeles waltl). A fluorescent tracer, lysinated rhodamine-dextran, was iontophoretically injected into individual precursor cells in various areas of the early neural plate. The phenotypes of clonally related cells were...
