Astrocytes 

Astrocytes are specialized glial cells that contiguously tile the entire central nervous system (CNS) and exert many complex functions in the CNS. The intermediate filament glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is expressed by many of the astrocytes, which are traditionally identified using histological analysis. There are three types of astrocytes in the central nervous system: fibrous (in white matter), protoplasmic (in gray matter), and radial.

Oligodendrocytes Markers

Oligodendrocytes are central nervous system myelinating cells (CNS). They are the result of a cell lineage that must go through a complex and precisely timed program of proliferation, migration, differentiation, and myelination to produce the insulating sheath of axons. The oligodendrocytes markers are used to distinguish various maturational stages.
