Abstract
Immunohistochemical staining using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method has demonstrated that glutathione S-transferases are exclusively localized in astrocytes and ependymal cells of adult rat brain, and that they are especially abundant in the nucleus. In contrast, oligodendrocytes and neurones do not show any immunoreactivity to the enzyme.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
