we have shown previously that three antibodies -- anti-galactocerebroside ( gc ) , anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein ( gfap ) , and the a2b5 monoclonal antibody -- can be used to help distinguish three classes of glial cells in the rat optic nerve : oligodendrocytes are gc+ , gfap- , almost all type-1 astrocytes are a2b5- , gfap+ , and almost all type-2 astrocytes are a2b5+ , gfap+ .
