Plasma samples from 70 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), 41 patients with other neurological diseases (OND), and 38 healthy subjects were examined for antibodies against gangliosides GM1, GM3, GD1a, GD1b, and GD3 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The percentages of subjects with increas

Neuroepithelial progenitor cells from forebrains of newborn rat pups develop into "mature" astrocytes in an epidermal growth factor-containing medium free of serum (Von Visger et al: Exp Neurol128:34,1994). Eight-week-old "mature" astrocyte cultures on poly-L-lysine-coated dishes were exposed to an
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increases in astrocytes following axotomy of facial motoneurons. In the present study we quantified GFAP synthesis both in regenerating facial nuclei after nerve crush and in nonregenerating facial nuclei after nerve resection. An increase in GFAP synthesis dur
## Abstract Ageβrelated increases in the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in many brain regions are observed in shortβ and longβlived mammals. Possible genomic mechanisms for the increase of GFAP mRNA and protein were studied in the hippocampus and cortex of male F344 rats and a
