title: Localization of a developmentally regulated neuron-specific protein S54 in dendrites as revealed by immunoelectron microscopy.
abstract: We sought to determine the ultrastructural localization of the developmentally regulated neuron-specific protein S54 in the chicken cerebellar cortex and optic tectum. The brains were fixed by perfusion with paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. Frozen sections were immunocytochemically labeled with a monoclonal antibody to S54 protein. The immunoreactivity for S54 protein was localized in dendrites. No immunoreactivity for S54 protein was detected in axons and their presynaptic terminals.
