It has proved difficult to obtain good immunohistochemical localization of cell surface antigens in nerve for a number of reasons, prominent among which are problems of fixing this class of molecule without destroying their antigenicity. In the course of developing a fixation procedure suitable for one such antigen. Thy-1, we have quantitatively assessed the effect of different fixation parameters upon the retention of Thy-1 antigenicity and upon the extent of cross-linking of the antigen in the tissue. The former was measured using radioimmunoassays adapted for membrane antigens in fixed tissue, the latter by measuring the proportion of antigen rendered insoluble to the detergent, sodium deoxycholate, and by examining the size of the antigen on sodium dodecyl sulfate--polyacrylamide gels. These approaches demonstrated that minor modifications of the standard vascular perfusion fixation of brain, using both glutaraldehyde and paraformaldehyde, were sufficient to fix the Thy-1 molecule, and at the same time substantially spare its antigenicity. In this study we measured Thy-1 using both a conventional rabbit antiserum and a mouse monoclonal antibody to the Thy-1.1 antigenic determinant. The multiple antigenic determinants recognized by the rabbit antibodies were cumulatively more resistant to fixation than the single antigenic determinant recognized by the monoclonal antibody.

We have used a monoclonal antibody against an antigenic determinant of the 210-kdalton neurofilament protein to study basket cell maturation in rat cerebellar cortex. Neurofilament immunoreactivity first appears in basket cells at postnatal day 12 and mature axonal "pinceaux" are present at postnatal day 17. There are large differences in the rate of maturation from lobe to lobe which do not fully correspond to the rate of Purkinje cell differentiation. In hypothyroid rats the expression of the neurofilament antigen by basket cells is almost completely suppressed.
