Abstract
Glial cells in the central nervous system(CNS)are composed of oligodendrocytes,astrocytes and micro-glia.They contribute more than half of the total cells of the CNS,and are essential for neural development and func-tioning.Studies on the fate specification,differentiation,and functional diversification of glial cells mainly rely on the proper use of cell-or stage-specific molecular markers.However,as cellular markers often exhibit different speci-ficity and sensitivity,careful consideration must be given prior to their application to avoid possible confusion.Here,we provide an updated overview of a list of well-established immunological markers for the labeling of central glia,and discuss the cell-type specificity and stage dependency of their expression.
