Abstract

Immunocytochemical staining of citrulline‐containing proteins, i.e. products of endogenous peptidylarginine deiminase (EC 3.5.3.15) reaction, has been performed by chemical modification of citrulline residues in situ, followed by probing with IgG specific to the modified residues. Rat spinal cords that had been preincubated in vitro to accelerate the enzyme reaction were used as samples. Not only astrocytes but also the cytoplasm of some large neurons were stained. Usefulness of the method for studying nervous tissue damage was suggested.

A synthetic peptide, corresponding to the N-terminal decapeptide (1Y 11 C 12 ) of the rat 5-hydroxytryptamine 2C (5-HT 2C ) receptor protein was used to produce a sheep polyclonal antiserum. Western blot analysis showed that the resultant antibody G241 recognised two membrane proteins, one (55 kDa)

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and this effect is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We decided, therefore, to study the effects of these factors on axonal regeneration in the adult rat spinal cord. Semipermeable pol
