We have shown previously that the Jones monoclonal antibody (Jones mAb) recognizes 9-O-acetyl GD3 expressed during periods of neuronal migration and neurite outgrowth in the developing rat nervous system. In the present study we investigated the expression of this ganglioside in the developing cerebellum and correlated this expression with granule cell migration. Electron microscopic immunocytochemistry revealed that around the peak of cerebellar neuronal migration (7-day-old rat), 9-O-acetyl GD3 was localized at the contact sites between migrating granule cells and radial glia in the external granular layer and prospective molecular layer. In addition, using microexplant and slice cultures of the postnatal rat cerebellum, we tested whether the ganglioside detected by our antibody contribute to the regulation of neuronal migration in the cerebellar cortex. We have shown that the Jones mAb blocks the migration of neurons in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest strongly that 9-O-acetyl GD3 is involved in granule cell migration in the developing cerebellum.

D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D009924 Organ Culture Techniques A technique for maintenance or growth of animal organs in vitro. It refers to three-dimensional cultures of undisaggregated tissue retaining some or all of the histological features of the tissue in vivo.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
D005732 Gangliosides A subclass of ACIDIC GLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS. They contain one or more sialic acid (N-ACETYLNEURAMINIC ACID) residues. Using the Svennerholm system of abbrevations, gangliosides are designated G for ganglioside, plus subscript M, D, or T for mono-, di-, or trisialo, respectively, the subscript letter being followed by a subscript arabic numeral to indicated sequence of migration in thin-layer chromatograms. (From Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1997) Ganglioside,Sialoglycosphingolipids
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
