Glial fibrillary acidic protein in brain tumors. [Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't ]
Oncology 1986; 43(6):364-7.


Glial fibrillary acidic protein has been widely used in neurobiology and neuropathology as a specific marker for normal and abnormal astrocytes. Here, we report the immunostaining of 107 brain tumors and controls using an antiserum against glial fibrillary acidic protein. Selection of astroglia-derived tumors was easy and of high accuracy. Pattern of staining and usefulness of the method are described.
