Immunohistochemical localization of creatine kinase-BB isoenzyme to astrocytes in human brain.
Indirect immunoperoxidase labelling at the light microscope level using a specific antisera to brain type creatine kinase-BB isoenzyme has localized the protein to astrocytes in the white matter of human cerebrum. No specific staining of neurones or of other glial elements was detected.
