Abstract excerpt
Earlier we have shown alterations in immunoreactivity (IR) to the calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin (PV) and calbindin D-28k (CaB) in surviving Purkinje cells of patients with spinocerebellar ataxia-1 (SCA-1). In the present study we determined PV and CaB expression (by immunohistochemical and...
