Abstract:
1. An antiserum specific for bovine GFAP was employed in a comparative study of this protein in several species of bony fish and in an anuran species. 2. The immunological properties of this protein are conserved in a remarkable way in all the species examined. 3. Analysis of trout and bovine GFAP by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis indicated that the charge properties of this protein have remained quite constant from fish to mammals.
