Abstract
Immunocytochemical staining for ganglioside GD3 (II3 alpha(Neu Ac alph a 2-8 NeuAc)-LacCer) in the choroid plexus of the adult rat brain was carried out. A peroxidase reaction product for GD3 was predominantly p resent along the surface of microvilli of the choroidal cells, suggest ing that ganglioside GD3 may be concerned with the formation or secret ion of the cerebrospinal fluid.
