title: Monoclonal antibody that binds to both the prenatal and postnatal astroglia in rodent cerebellum.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody (MAb), generated by immunizing mice with homogenized guinea pig cerebellum, labeled cerebellar astroglia including perikarya, radial fibers and veil-like processes in adult rats, mice and guinea pigs. Cell bodies and processes of the immature radial glia in the ventricular neuroepithelium of fetal mice cerebellum were definitely stained by the MAb on the 14th day of gestation. The astroglial components continued to show selective immunoreactivity to the MAb after the 14th day of gestation.
