Parvalbumin-immunoreactive amacrine cells of macaque retina.
A number of authors have observed amacrine cells containing high levels of immunoreactive parvalbumin in primate retinas. The experiments described here were designed to identify these cells morphologically, to determine their neurotransmitter, to record their light responses, and to describe the other cells that they contact. Macaque retinas were fixed in paraformaldehyde and labeled with anti...
متن کاملLocalization of immunoreactive cholecystokinin precursor to amacrine cells and bipolar cells of the macaque monkey retina.
We used antisera that recognized precursors of the neuropeptide cholecystokinin extended at the carboxyl terminus in an immunocytochemical study of the macaque retina. A subpopulation of bipolar cells with long, obliquely oriented dendrites was labeled. Their axons terminated exclusively in the fifth stratum of the inner plexiform layer, where they contacted processes of amacrine and ganglion c...
متن کاملCharacterization of secretagogin-immunoreactive amacrine cells in marmoset retina.
The retina contains at least 30 different types of amacrine cells but not many are well characterized. In the present study the calcium-binding protein secretagogin was localized in a population of regular and displaced amacrine cells in the retina of the common marmoset Callithrix jacchus. Irrespective of their soma location, the dendrites of secretagogin amacrine cells occupy strata 2, 3, and...
متن کاملLosses of immunoreactive parvalbumin amacrine and immunoreactive αprotein kinase C bipolar cells caused by methylmercury chloride intoxication in the retina of the tropical fish Hoplias malabaricus
To quantify the effects of methylmercury (MeHg) on amacrine and on ON-bipolar cells in the retina, experiments were performed in MeHgexposed groups of adult trahiras (Hoplias malabaricus) at two dose levels (2 and 6 μg/g, ip). The retinas of test and control groups were processed by mouse anti-parvalbumin and rabbit anti-αprotein kinase C (αPKC) immunocytochemistry. Morphology and soma location...
متن کاملLight and electron microscopic analysis of aquaporin 1-like-immunoreactive amacrine cells in the rat retina.
Aquaporin 1 (AQP1; also known as CHIP, a channel-forming integral membrane protein of 28 kDa) is the first protein to be shown to function as a water channel and has been recently shown to be present in the rat retina. We previously showed (Kim et al. [1998] Neurosci Lett 244:52-54) that AQP1-like immunoreactivity is present in a certain population of amacrine cells in the rat retina. This stud...
