title: [Immunocytochemical localization of gliofibrillary proteins (GDAP) in human cerebral tumors. Histological and in vitro studies].
abstract: On the basis of studies utilizing antibody to GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) in the indirect immunofluorescent and immunoperoxydase methods we report the presence of GFAP in 5 astrocytomas, 1 ependymoma and 1 medulloblastoma. The GFAP was evidenced on cryostat sections of frozen material and in short-term tissue culture. Five others tumors including 1 oligodendrocytoma, 1 choroid-plexus papilloma, 1 meningioma and 2 secondary sarcomas were negative. Possible applications of antibodies to GFAP for localization and therapy of brains tumors were considered.
