Immunocytochemical characteristics of glial cytoplasmic inclusions in multiple system atrophy 51, 56
| Positive immunoreactivity | Negative immunoreactivity |
|---|---|
| *Glial cytoplasmic inclusions are generally negative for phosphate dependent tau antibodies and positive for normal adult tau. | |

| Ubiquitin | Neurofilaments |
| αB-crystallin | Glial fibrillary acidic protein |
| α-Tubulin and β-tubulin | Myelin basic protein |
| Mitogen activated protein 2 | Vimentin |
| Mitogen activated protein 5 | Actin |
| Cyclin dependent kinase 5 | Desmin |
| Mitogen activated protein kinase | Myosin |
| Midkine | Cytokeratin |
