Abstract

A monoclonal antibody (MAb-1D10), generated by immunizing Balb/c mice with homogenized bovine retinal tissue, labeled the Müller cells in the bovine retina and the Purkinje cells of the rat cerebellum. In the neonatal rat cerebellum, immunoreactivity for MAb-1D10 appeared first in the ventral regions of vermis (lobuli I–III and IX–X) on the 11th postnatal day (P11), while in the dorsal vermis and cerebellar hemisphere, the immunoreactive Purkinje cells were detected on P13. Western blotting analysis disclosed that MAb-1D10 recognized bovine retinal polypeptides with mol.wt. of 48 kDa. Transplantation of the rat cerebellar primordia on 16th embryonic day demonstrated large and round cells with a linear arrangement in the grafts surviving well in the host rat striatum after 50 days of the grafting. These large cells were immunohistochemically labeled by MAb-1D10. No other cells in both the graft and the host striatum were immunoreactive to the MAb.
