Abstract

It has recently been reported that high molecular weight microtubule-associated proteins are differently distributed in dendrites and axons of neurons [ Matus Bernhardt and Hugh-Jones (1981), Proc. natn Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78, 3010-3014; Vallee (1982), J. Cell Biol. 92, 435-442]. We have reported earlier in a preliminary form [Miller, Walter, Theurkauf , Vallee and De Camilli (1982), Proc. natn Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 79, 5562-5566] that an antiserum specific for microtubule-associated protein 2, one of the most prominent high molecular weight microtubule-associated proteins in brain and a major brain phosphoprotein, stains specifically neuronal dendrites and perikarya. We have now extended those observations by performing a detailed analysis of the distribution of microtubule-associated protein 2 throughout the nervous system of the rat. We found that microtubule-associated protein 2 is present at high concentrations in the great majority of neurons. Under our conditions of immunostaining microtubule-associated protein 2 was not detected in nonneuronal cells. In all neurons it was compartmentalized in perikarya and dendrites. In most cases, the latter were more heavily stained than perikarya. The pattern of staining (overall intensity, relative intensity in dendrites vs perikarya, and in proximal vs distal segments of the dendritic tree), varied in different classes of neurons but was identical for all neurons with similar geometry in the same brain region. Different patterns of sta…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
