Abstract excerpt
Human glioblastomas (five of five), the most malignant astroglial-derived tumors, specifically express a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan that is recognized by monoclonal antibody 9.2.27 and localized to the glioma cell surface, proliferating endothelial cells, and the perivascular extracellular matrix within the tumor bed. In contrast, the expression of this proteoglycan in normal adult neocortex and white...
