Abstract:
TrkB was designated as the functional receptor of br ain derived neurotrophic factor. In these study, we investigated the distributi on of trkB-like immunoreactivity(trkB-IR) in spinal cord of adult cats using spe cific antiserum for trkB by immunohistochemistry ABC method. The results were a s following: trkB-IR was mainly distributed in neurons of spinal cord including ventrolateral horn, intermedius are and dorsal horn. The subcellular localization of positiveproduct was mainly in cytoplasm. Our results provided morphological evidence on the distribution of trkB in spinal cord of adult cats. It indicated the role o f trkB involve in physiological function of spinal cord of adult cat.
