This protocol describes an ex vivo approach to identify and quantify the proportions of proliferating neural stem cells and progenitors of the mouse subventricular zone. It uses ethynyl deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation to identify dividing cells, combined with multicolor flow cytometry for 4 cell surface antigens to distinguish between 8 phenotypically distinct mouse neural progenitors and stem cells. It has been optimized for wild-type neonatal mice but can be used on mice of any postnatal age. For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Kumari et al. (2020).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
