VIM and scurvy: To define whether vitamin C deficiency alters the cellular distribution of SVZ, coronal sections of the SVZ from control animals and from animals with 21 days of vitamin C deficiency were immunolabeled with anti-βIII tubulin to detect neuroblasts, anti-B4 isolectin to identify ependymal cells and anti-vimentin to identify ependymal cells and glial cells.
