title: [Demonstration of nuclear protein neun in the human brain corpora amylacea].
abstract: The purpose of the present study was to examine the corpora amylacea (amyloid bodies, polyglucosan bodies) in human brain. To test the hypothesis on their neuronal origin, distribution of the selective neuronal marker NeuN was studied immunocytochemically in the brain areas containing amyloid bodies. The studied neuronal marker NeuN was detected in most of the amyloid bodies. The data obtained confirm the neuronal origin of the amyloid bodies.
