Bcl-2 Immunoreactive Cells With Immature Neuronal Phenotype Exist in the Nonepileptic Adult Human Brain
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
Bcl-2, a cell death suppressor protein, is expressed during brain development but is largely down-regulated in the adult central nervous system. We previously reported strong expression of bcl-2 in small, "oligodendrocyte-like" cells (OLC) found in glioneuronal hamartias. These hamartias are microscopic cell rests found in temporal lobe resections from patients with intractable epilepsy and are considered a form...
