## Abstract Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) specific activities, kinetic properties and allosteric regulation were studied in extracts from cultured neurons and astrocytes prepared from mouse cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Considerable differences were observed in the specific activity of the enzyme
Astrocytes have been prepared from adult rat cortex, cerebellum, and striatum, using a modification of the McCarthy-DeVellis (J Cell Biol 85:890, 1980) method. The cultures consist of 99% type 1 polygonal astrocytes, which divide more slowly than cells from newborn animals. One day after preparing t
Simple methods for obtention of primary cultures of isolated astrocytes and microglia from adult simian brain have been developed. Characterization of these two glial cell populations were performed by morphological observations and by immunocytochemistry. The astroglial cultures were obtained by an
