Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor expression by O2A/oligodendrocyte progenitor cells
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (O2A/OPC, A2B5(+)) were examined for expression of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). RT-PCR analysis and immunocytochemistry of O2A/OPCs purified from the rat corpus collusum revealed the expression of nAChR subunits alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alpha7, beta2, and beta4. Immunoreactivity toward nAChR subunits was not detected in cells induced to differentiate into...
