Measurement of S-100 protein in human blood and cerebrospinal fluid: analytical method and preliminary clinical results.
An immunofluorometric sandwich assay for determination of S-100 protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood is described. The lower detection limit was 0.015 micrograms/l of S-100 protein. Intra-assay and inter-assay imprecision (coefficients of variation, CVs) were 2.1 to 3.2% and 7.8 to 11.6%, respectively. S-100 protein recovery in cerebrospinal fluid was 94 to 103%. In blood the recovery...
متن کاملGenetic Background Affects Human Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Promoter Activity
The human glial fibrillary acidic protein (hGFAP) promoter has been used to generate numerous transgenic mouse lines, which has facilitated the analysis of astrocyte function in health and disease. Here, we evaluated the expression levels of various hGFAP transgenes at different ages in the two most commonly used inbred mouse strains, FVB/N (FVB) and C57BL/6N (B6N). In general, transgenic mice ...
متن کاملModelling and Characterization of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is an intermediate-filament (IF) protein that maintains the astrocytes of the Central Nervous System in Human. This is differentially expressed during serological studies in inflamed condition such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Therefore, it is of interest to glean molecular insight using a model of GFAP (49.88 kDa) due to its crystallographic nonavailabil...
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...
