In a previous ultrastructural, immunocytochemical study from this laboratory, using affinity-purified polyclonal sera specific for the GA, elements of the organelle were detected in peripheral segments of some astrocytic processes in sections of rat brains [68] . Over 95% of the cultured cells stained with the monoclonal antibody against GFAP [43] , an astrocyte specific intermediate filament protein. Staining of MG-160 in processes in rat astrocyte enriched cultures was detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence with both polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against MG-160. To confirm that cells which expressed MG-160 in processes were astrocytes, double-labeling immunofluorescence with anti-MG-160 and astrocytic-specific intermediate filament marker (GFAP) antibodies were performed. ./cache/cord-007353-qg2pb884.txt ./txt/cord-007353-qg2pb884.txt
