NG2 cells, or polydendrocytes, are a population of CNS cells that are distinct from neurons, mature oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglia. They can be identified by the expression of the NG2 ...

Using state-of-the-art genomic and proteomic methodologies, the team discovered that the MLL-AF4 fusion protein stimulates the production of NG2, a protein not found in healthy hematopoietic cells.
