Calretinin-immunopositive Cells and Fibers in the Cerebellar Cortex of Normal Sheep

Calretinin (CR)-immunopositive cells and fibers in the cerebellar cortex (vermal archicerebellum—lobules X and IX—and neocerebellum—lobules VIIb and VIII) of two and 4-year-old Manchega and Rasa Aragonesa sheep were studied. CR-immunoreactivity was seen in subsets of all neurons and afferent fibers...

Description
Summary:Calretinin (CR)-immunopositive cells and fibers in the cerebellar cortex (vermal archicerebellum—lobules X and IX—and neocerebellum—lobules VIIb and VIII) of two and 4-year-old Manchega and Rasa Aragonesa sheep were studied. CR-immunoreactivity was seen in subsets of all neurons and afferent fibers described in the cerebellar cortex. Generally, immunopositive cells were seen in very high densities in lobules X and IX, and in low density in lobule VIIb. Apparently, all unipolar brush cells were CR-immunopositive and showed a greater variety of shape than had been reported in other species. CR-immunoreactivity of Purkinje cells was either absent or varied from low to medium intensity. Few granule cell perikarya were immunostained (
