Glial cells exist in the both central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that provide support and protection to neurons in the central nervous system. They play crucial roles in maintaining brain homeostasis, providing structural support, and modulating neuronal activity. Antibody markers such as GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein), S100B, and CNPase (2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase) are commonly used to identify and characterize different types of glial cells, including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and Schwann cells. These markers enable the study of glial cell functions, their interactions with neurons, and their involvement in various neurological disorders, contributing to our understanding of the complex cellular composition of the brain.
