Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-like immunoreactivity in the vestibular endorgan of the rat.
The distribution of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-like immunoreactivity in the peripheral vestibular nervous system of normal adult rats was studied using immunohistochemical methods. The immunoreactivity was demonstrated at the light-microscopic level. GFAP-like immunoreactivity could be seen at the vestibular fibers terminating in the hair cells.
