Immunohistochemical studies on clustered pericapillary bodies in the spinal cord of post-poliomyelitis patients.

摘要: This report concerns the study of clustered pericapillary bodies in spinal cords four post-poliomyelitis patients. All had stable neurological deficits without new symptoms after initial poliomyelitis infection. Spinal from seven individuals who died non-neurological disorders served as controls. Lumbar segments were examined by using conventional staining procedures and immunohistochemical techniques. The histological features structures similar to those previously described rosettes. number was strikingly greater one patient (a man at age 48) than other three. great majority within areas lesions. A small abnormal detected lumbar cord three control individuals. immunostained antibodies phosphorylated neurofilament, synaptophysin, ubiquitin, but not glial fibrillary acidic protein, tau paired helical filaments. These results indicate that may derive presynaptic terminals preterminal axons, their formation be related, albeit necessarily a specific fashion, disease process.
