  • These findings strongly implicate the LIF family of cytokines in the regulation of astrocyte differentiation and indeed the LIF-deficient animals show a significant reduction in the number of GFAP cells in the hippocampus [38].
  • These findings support the in vivo findings that show extremely low levels of GFAP mRNA in brains of embryonic day 19 LIFR-/- mice [38].
  • We used mice with targeted mutations in the GFAP or vimentin genes, or both, to study the impact of loss of either or both of these proteins on intermediate filament formation in cultured astrocytes and in normal or reactive astrocytes in vivo [39].
  • Our findings demonstrate that neither apoE nor GFAP participates in the pathogenesis of the disease or in the production of PrPSc [3].
  • In adult mice, all enteric neurons (labeled with neuron-specific enolase antibodies), and a subpopulation of glial cells (labeled with GFAP antibodies), showed immunoreactivity to Phox2b [40].
