Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies indicate that glucose transporter 5 (GLUT5) is a microglial marker in routine paraffin sections, and is rarely present in monocytes/macrophages of the peripheral organs. We examined the expression of GLUT5 in 91 cases of human gliomas to characterize the microglial phenotype in glioma tissues. Immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections using such...
