F3.Olig2 cells are immuno-positive for oligodendrocyte markers CNPase (A) and galactocerebroside (GalC) (E), but F3.Olig2-Shh cells are negative for both oligodendrocyte markers (I and M). F3.Olig2-Shh cells are positive for motor neuron specific markers, ChAT (J) and Hb9 (N), but F3.Olig2-Shh cells are negative for both oligodendrocyte markers (B and F). These results indicate that F3.Olig2-Shh cells are bona fide motor neurons. The bar indicates 20 µm.
