Spatial distribution of prominin-1 (CD133)-positive cells within germinative zones of the vertebrate brain.

In mammals, embryonic neural progenitors as well as adult neural stem cells can be prospectively isolated based on the cell surface expression of prominin-1 (CD133), a plasma membrane glycoprotein. In contrast, characterization of neural progenitors in non-mammalian vertebrates endowed with signific...
