title: Erythrocyte band 3-like protein immunoreactivity in the human brain cortex.
abstract: The immunoreactivity of erythrocyte band 3 (B3-IR)-related protein was estimated on cortex biopsies from the brains of 33 patients varying in age from 14-week-old fetus until 67 years of life. B3-IR was not a feature of embryonic brains. A positive reaction was restricted to neurons. It appeared at early postnatal life, increased sharply until 9 years, and than stayed approximately stable between 17 and 67 years of age. The results indicate that there is a positive relation between the amount of neuronal band 3-like protein and the stage of human brain development.
