Antibodies to the mammalian adhesion molecule J1/tenascin and its carbohydrate epitope L2/HNK-1 label the receptor lymph cavities of insect sensilla.
Data from light- and electronimmunocytochemistry gave evidence that the antibodies to the mammalian adhesion molecule J1/tenascin and its carbohydrate structure L2/HNK-1 react with immunoreactive structures present in the inner and outer receptor lymph cavities of antennal sensilla of the honey bee. Immunoreactivity was additionally present in the cytoplasm of the enveloping cells surrounding the receptor lymph cavities. Cell contacts between enveloping cells and between dendrites and enveloping cells were never observed to be antigen positive.
