✦ Synopsis

Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the isolated intact mature rat optic nerve have been computer imaged in three dimensions by laser scanning confocal microscopy of single cells, dye-filled with lysinated rhodamine dextran (LRD). Our results illustrate the first application of these techniques to an intact CNS white matter tract and provide comparative data for previous studies on neonatal rat optic nerve (Butt and

Recent studies have revealed that a dynamic axon-glial signaling occurs in the rat optic nerve, which is devoid of synapses. This interaction is postulated to be mediated by non-vesicular release of glutamate via a reversal of high-affinity glutamate transporters. Here we examined the expression of

The morphology of glial cells in the intact rat optic nerve, a central nervous system (CNS) white matter tract, was analysed by filling over 500 macroglial cells intracellularly with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or Lucifer yellow (LY).

The adult central nervous system (CNS) contains a population of adult oligodendrocyte-type-2 astrocyte (0-2A) progenitor cells (0-2Aud"" progenitor cells). These cells may provide a source of the new oligodendrocytes that are needed to repair demyelinated lesions. In order to examine the role of O-2

There is considerable debate on the development of a glial cell line in the rat optic nerve, which is characterized by the specific expression of the A2B5 and HNK-1 epitopes. This cell line has been assumed to give rise to oligodendrocytes and so-called type 2 astrocytes. However, it is doubtful tha
