title: Localization of alpha-tubulin immunoreactivity to cerebellar Bergmann glia with the TU 01 antibody.
abstract: The TU 01 antitubulin antibody specific for alpha-tubulin was demonstrated, by light- and electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry, to stain selectively the Bergmann glia of rat cerebellum. Within the glial cells and their fibres the microtubules, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, the outer mitochondrial membranes and the ribosomal rosettes of the cell body were decorated by the antibody. The high selectivity of this antibody is discussed in terms of tubulin microheterogeneity.
