Glial fibrillary acidic protein-like immunoreactivity in cat satellite cells of sympathetic ganglia.
The presence and distribution of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocytic marker protein associated with glial filaments in the sympathetic ganglia of adult cats, was investigated immunocytochemically. This study revealed GFAP plus cells throughout the ganglion. Immunopositive cells surround nerve cell bodies and separate them from the blood vessels.
