Abstract

Automated quantitative analysis allows us to save the time necessary for data analysis after immunohistochemical staining of biological material in routine experiments. In this study, we present a method of quantitative analysis that was developed for the processing of brain slices stained immunohistochemically for glial fibrillary acid protein. We also showed some experimental examples of application of this method.
