1E1-3 Comparison of the loss of astrocytes in NMO is different from an active MS lesion which shows large scale preservation of GFAP containing processes and cell bodies within the MS lesion and absence of swollen astrocytic processes. Comparison is shown at higher magnification in E2 (LFB-PAS) and E3 (GFAP IHC)
