| Abstract: | Summary Tissue culture preparations of adult and neonatal rat pituitary neural lobes were examined by use of cell-type specific immunohistochemical markers. Cultures obtained from explanted or dissociated adult tissue or explanted neonatal tissue produced cells immunoreactive for endothelial and fibroblast markers. In contrast, dissociated neonatal tissue produced, in addition, two distinct forms of astrocytic glial cells immunoreactive for glial fibrillary acidic protein, one of which was also immunoreactive for the ganglioside GD3. |
