Immunocytochemical Localization of Protein Kinase C in some Vertebrate Retinas

  • Conference paper
Neurobiology of the Inner Retina

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 31))

Abstract

The enzyme, protein kinase C (PKC), has been found to be destributed throughout mammalian tissues, its highest amounts being present in the CNS (Minakuchi et al, 1981; Kikkawa et al, 1982). Recent immunohistochemistry with poly- and mono-antisera against PKC has shown that its cellular distribution varies with cell type (Girard et al, 1985; Shoji et al, 1986; Wood et al, 1986; Saito et al, 1988). In the present study, an indirect immunohistochemical technique was applied to the retina of several vertebrates to explore the cellular localization of PKC-like immunoreactivity (IR).
