Abstract:
The PC3 gene is a marker of dividing neuroepithelial (NE) cells. We transduced single cortical precursors of the ventricular zone (VZ) with a PC3-carrying retroviral vector at E16 stage, and analysed the effects of transgene expression on their progeny in 3-week-old animals. Unlike control-transduced cells, all viable PC3-transduced cells remained close to the ventricle and displayed a round-shaped, undifferentiated morphology.
