Antiserums to neurons and to oligodendroglia from mammalian brain

Science. 1977 Jul 15;197(4300):270-2. doi: 10.1126/science.327546.

Abstract

Two specific antiserums were produced, one to rat neurons and one to lamb oligodendroglia isolated in bulk from brain. On the basis of immunofluorescence and absorption studies with bulk isolated cells, the antiserums were produced to specific surface components. The antiserums are useful as markers for cell identification and for studying proteins in plasma membranes.
