  • Title: Presence of glial cells in the rat pineal gland: a light and electron microscopic immunohistochemical study.
    Author: Calvo J, Boya J, Borregon A, Garcia-Mauriño JE.
    Journal: Anat Rec; 1988 Apr; 220(4):424-8. PubMed ID: 3382032.
    Abstract:
    Immunoperoxidase methods for the demonstration of three glial antigens, vimentin, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and S-100 protein, were applied to routine-fixed paraffin sections of rat pineal gland. A pre-embedding electron microscope immunoperoxidase method was also used to study the ultrastructural localization of S-100 protein in pineal cells. Light and electron microscopic results showed the presence of these antigenic glial markers in the second pineal cell type. The term glial cell is proposed for the second of parenchymatous cell in rat pineal gland.
