Abstract
A technique for rapid diagnosis of astroglial and ependymal glial neoplasms [in humans] is presented. Frozen sections are processed for immunofluorescence using antiserum raised against the glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein. The entire procedure requires 10-15 min. The technique is useful for the rapid identification of neoplasms of astroglial and ependymal lineage.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
