Glutamate-like immunoreactivity in chick cerebellum and optic tectum.
Glutamate was coupled via glutaraldehyde to bovine serum albumin. The conjugate was used for raising specific anti-glutamate antibodies. The purified antibody was used for immunostaining of chick cerebellum and optic tectum. Staining was intense in the molecular layer and in cell bodies of the granule cell layer. In the optic tectum a diffuse staining was detected in the superficial layers of stratum griseum fibrosum superficiale and in cell bodies especially in the layers a and e. Large cell bodies located in the stratum griseum centrale were also stained.
