This protocol describes an 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).
