Abstract
The expression of the cell adhesion-related HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope in the retina and ciliary body was studied in different vertebrates and in man. A series of eyes from 4 fish, 5 bird, and 9 mammalian species was analyzed by immunohistochemistry with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) HNK-1 and VC1.1 to the HNK-1 epitope, and with MAb SY38 to synaptophysin. Additionally, 7 morphologically normal human eyes were studied. In all fishes, as well as in baboons and man, the radial glia and all retinal layers except the photoreceptor cell layer were immunoreactive for the HNK-1 epitope. In all birds, the nerve fiber layer and both plexiform layers were labelled. In nonprimate mammals only the plexiform layers were immunoreactive. Fine differences in this general immunoreaction pattern were seen in different species. Mab SY38 labeled both plexiform layers of mammals only. In the ciliary body, immunoreaction for the HNK-1 epitope was seen in the inner connective tissue layer only in man, but the ciliary nerves were labelled in all species except the mouse and rat. The HNK-1 epitope seems to be phylogenetically conserved in the retina, where the HNK-1 immunoreactive plexiform layers possibly are overlapped with HNK-1 reactive radial glial ...Continue Reading
