title: A novel serpin-like protein, B-43, exists in both neurons and astrocytes: an immunohistochemical study in the parietal region of the bovine brain.
abstract: The presence of a novel member of serine proteinase inhibitor, B-43, was immunohistochemically indicated in both neurons and astrocytes in the parietal region of the bovine brain. B-43-like immunoreactivity was detected in pyramidal cells in the cortex and GFAP-positive astroglial cells in the white matter. The processes of B-43 may play a cooperative role with glia-derived nexin/protease nexin-1 and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin in the brain.
