Monoclonal antibodies to monkey brain choline acetyltransferase: production and immunohistochemistry.
Two monoclonal antibodies to monkey brain choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) were obtained. Immunoblot analysis indicated that both antibodies revealed two adjacent protein bands on a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. ChAT was demonstrated immunohistochemically by one of the antibodies in the motoneurons in the monkey brainstem and spinal cord. This antibody also revealed ChAT-positive terminal-like structures in the neuropils of lamina IX of the cervical spinal cord and interpeduncular nucleus.
