## Abstract Glial cells, in both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems, provide an essential environment for developmental, supportive, and physiological functions. However, information on glial cells themselves and on glial cell markers, with the exception of those of __Drosophila__ and othe
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astroglial marker, has been detected in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) in a shorter version and its mRNA in a longer form (¬-type) than the brain a-type. To determine the characteristics of the GFAP gene expression in nonneural cells, we have investiga
