Table 2 Growth characteristics of neural progenitors from the subventricular zone and olfactory bulb. Growth characteristics are compared between 26 consecutive passages of neural progenitor cells isolated from the subventricular zone and the olfactory bulb. No significant differences can be seen between the two populations.
