The presence of chondroitin sulfate A and C within axon terminals in the superior olivary nuclei of the adult dog.
Localization of chondroitin sulfate A and C [GlcA beta 1--> 3GalNAc(4S) and GlcA beta 1--> GalNAc(6S)] has been determined in the medial and lateral superior olivary nuclei of the adult dog by light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Neuropil around large neurons were heavily immunostained, whereas neuropil around small neurons showed only weak or no immunoreactivity. Electron microscopy revealed that presence of chondroitin sulfate A and C proteoglycan in axon terminals around neuronal cell bodies.
