Immunohistochemical localization of S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and neuron-specific enolase in the pars distalis of quail, rat, and human hypophyses. 1987

L Van Nassauw, and F Harrisson, and P Cras, and M Callebaut

In the present study, we have localized immunohistochemically S-100 protein, glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) by the unlabelled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Special attention was paid to the influence of fixation and of pretreatment of sections with proteolytic enzymes. It appeared that the final immunostaining of a given antigen largely depends on the fixative and on the species used. Moreover, pepsin pretreatment proved to be necessary to unmask S-100 protein in quail and GFA protein in rat. S-100 protein (rat, human) and GFA protein (human) immunoreactivities were detected in the folliculo-stellate (FS) cells. In quail, S-100 protein was also found in cells, which were not arranged around a follicular lumen and, in rat, the endothelial cells were immunostained for GFA protein. Clusters of granular cells were weakly immunostained for NSE in all species. An exclusive relationship between FS cells and S-100 protein could not be ascertained from this study.

D008297 Male Males
D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.
