B. Gajkowska et al., PROTEIN-KINASE C-LIKE IMMUNOREACTIVITY IN GERBIL HIPPOCAMPUS AFTER A TRANSIENT CEREBRAL-ISCHEMIA, Folia histochemica et cytobiologica, 32(2), 1994, pp. 71-77
This study describes immunocytochemical distribution of the protein ki
nase C (PKC) subspecies: alpha, beta and gamma in the CAI sector of ge
rbil hippocampus. Immunolabelling was performed with 10 nm gold-antibo
dy complexes against each of the PKC subspecies. The subspecies of PKC
were expressed specifically in different populations of hippocampal c
ells. An enhanced PKC immunoreactivity was noted in the animals after
ischemia. We propose that this phenomenon reflects an activation of PK
C in the early phase of brain ischemia.
