G-CSF receptor is expressed in the embryonic nervous system. The expression shows characteristics of radial glia cells in terms of long processes and termination in end-feet. A E11 forebrain, B E12 spinal cord with dorsal root ganglion, axon root and muscle, C E14 hindbrain, D E16 spinal cord with dorsal root ganglion, E E19 spinal cord, F E19 spinal cord, G E19 hindbrain, H E21 olfactory bulb, I E21 diencephalon, (Immunohistochemical staining of 10 μm paraffin sections, scale bar = 50 μm, d: dorsal, E: embryonic day, v: ventral).
