Glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein-containing cells in the human pineal gland.
The development of human pineal astrocytes was studied in a prospective autopsy series of 115 cases with an age range of 24 weeks of gestation to 91 years. Pineal glands selected from cases with postmortem intervals of one to 24 hours were fixed in Bouin's fluid and immunostained using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique and an antiserum against human glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein. ...
متن کاملThe application of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein immunohistochemistry in neurooncology. A progress report.
Glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein, a protein originally isolated from fibrous neuroglia (Eng et aI., 1971) and subsequently localized by specific immunofluorescence to fibrillary astrocytes (Bignami et ai, 1972; Bignami and Dahl, 1974; Uyeda et aI., 1972), is currently being used as an antigenic marker for the investigation of normal, developing and pathologically altered supporting cells o...
متن کاملGlial fibrillary acidic protein is localized in the lens epithelium
The epithelium of the mouse lens stains intensely with antisera to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). A protein co-migrating with GFAP and immunoreactive with antisera to GFAP can be demonstrated in lens epithelium protein extracts by immunoblots. GFAP has previously been considered unique to cells of neural origin, but this study demonstrates that ectodermally derived cells express GFAP o...
متن کاملGlial Fibrillary Acidic Protein-Expressing Glia in the Mouse Lung
Autonomic nerves regulate important functions in visceral organs, including the lung. The postganglionic portion of these nerves is ensheathed by glial cells known as non-myelinating Schwann cells. In the brain, glia play important functional roles in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and maintenance of the blood brain barrier. Similarly, enteric glia are now known to have analogous roles i...
متن کاملLong term neurotoxicity of styrene. A quantitative study of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) and S-100.
Little information exists about the possible neurotoxicity of styrene. The present study was designed to explore whether long term inhalation exposure (three months) to styrene (90 and 320 ppm) could induce long lasting astroglial alterations in Sprague Dawley rats, traceable four months after exposure ceased. Styrene exposure at 320 ppm induced such alterations as shown by raised concentration...
