Chambon C, Paban V, Manrique C, Alescio-Lautier B (2007) Behavioral and immunohistological effects of cholinergic damage in immunolesioned rats: Alteration of c-Fos and polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule expression. Neuroscience 147:893-905. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2007.05.022
Summary: In this work the authors looked to expand the knowledge of molecular events and brain structure changes following cholinergic immunolesion. Rats were treated with bilateral injections of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01); 37.5 ng per side into the medial septum, and 75 ng per side into the nucleus basalis magnocellularis. 1 month after treatment behavioral deficits were drastic and cholinergic neurons had completely disappeared. Elevated levels of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule were temporarily able to compensate for the loss of cholinergic neurons. NOTE: material from Chemicon, Paris.
