Phenotypic characterization of septal neurons in culture: immunohistochemistry of GABA, calbindin D-28k and choline acetyltransferase, and histochemistry of acetylcholinesterase.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypes of septal neurons, dissociated from 19-day-old fetal rat brains and then cultured in a medium containing nerve growth factor for 4 weeks, were examined using gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), calbindin D-28k, parvalbumin and choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry, and acetylcholinesterase histochemistry. There were primarily four groups of neurons identified in this septal culture: the first...
