Immunohistochemical Localization of Glial and Neuronal Cell Markers in the Developing Bovine Brain*

In the present immunohistochemical study, the distribution and differentiation of glial and neuronal cells in bovine fetal brains (age range: between1–2 and7–8 months) was examined using antibodies against nervous system-specific proteins, i. e., glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), vimentin, neuron specific enolase (NSE) and a neurofilament protein subunit (NF 200 kD).
