Blood Levels of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) in Patients with Neurological Diseases
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The brain-specific astroglial protein GFAP is a blood biomarker candidate indicative of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with symptoms suspicious of acute stroke. Comparably little, however, is known about GFAP release in other neurological disorders. In order to identify potential "specificity gaps" of a future GFAP test used to diagnose intracerebral hemorrhage, we ...
متن کاملPlasma glial fibrillary acidic protein levels in a child with sickle cell disease and stroke.
A 12-year-old boy with HbSS sickle cell disease (SCD) was admitted with an acute febrile illness and developed overt stroke 3 days later. Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein levels were elevated, as compared to pediatric controls, 32 h prior to the clinical diagnosis of stroke, peaked immediately prior to the exchange transfusion, and remained elevated 1 year later despite chronic transfusio...
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 کاملMyxopapillary ependymoma with pleuropulmonary metastases and high plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein levels.
Introduction Myxopapillary ependymoma is a rare glial tumor with almost exclusive localization in the distal spinal cord (intraspinal variant) or the sacrococcygeal subcutaneous tissue (extraspinal variant). The average age at manifestation has been reported to be approximately 36 years. The overall incidence is approximately 0.08 per 100,000 persons per year for males and 0.05 per 100,000 pers...
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...
