title: Detection of GFAP in vertebral fibrocartilage in human fetal and newborn tissue.
abstract: Previously we reported the coexpression of cytokeratin and vimentin in nucleus pulposus cells in fetal life and childhood (Stosiek et al. 1988). In this study, we observed also an unexpected reaction of an antibody against glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) with some chondroblasts in fibrous cartilage, which will here be published using an enlarged panel of mono- and polyclonal antibodies specific for GFAP.
