S100B is expressed in, and released from, OLN-93 oligodendrocytes: Influence of serum and glucose deprivation
摘要
S100B (member of a family of proteins that are 100%soluble in ammonium sulfate at neutral pH) has been widely used as astrocyte marker in animal models and in human brain diseases. Recent studies revealed S100B-immunopositivity in oligodendrocytes and O2A oligodendroglial progenitor cells. It is unknown, however, if oligodendrocytes produce S100B themselves, or if the S100B-immunolabeling is caused by binding or absorption of the protein.
