Comparative analysis of the in situ expression of CNPase, GFAP, and glutamine synthetase in canine, murine, and simian satellite glial cells. Shown are the median percentages of positive cells with range.

Marker	Canine SGCs	Murine SGCs	Simian SGCs
CNPase	93% (86–97%)	5% (4–6%)	92% (85–94%)
GFAP	78% (73–89%)	0% (0–0%)	80% (78–84%)
Glutamine Synthetase	44% (25–52%)	71% (70–72%)	94% (90–98%)

CNPase = 2′,3′-cyclic-nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase; GFAP = glial fibrillary acidic protein; SGCs = satellite glial cells.
