A comparative immunohistological study of cerebellar enolases

Abstract
A comparative immunohistological study of the neurone-specific γγ enolase and αα enolase, demonstrates the exclusive neuronal localization of γγ enolase and its absence from glial cells. In contrast, αα enolase is located in astroglial cells. The validity of γγ enolase as a neuronal marker and αα enolase as an astrocytic marker, is confirmed both by a double labelling technique, using antibodies to αα and to γγ revealed with fluorescence or peroxidase in the same tissue sections, and by immunoelectronmicroscopy.
