    Notes: Summary Calcium ions play a key role in many aspects of neuronal behavior and certain calcium binding proteins that may influence this behavior are differentially distributed in the central nervous system. In this study it is shown that immunoreactivity for calbindin-28 and for parvalbumin is localized in separate populations of inhibitory GABA interneurons in all areas of the neocortex of Old World monkeys. Virtually all GABA neurosn show immunoreactivity for one or other calcium binding protein but, except for a few cells in layer IV, GABA cells do not show immunoreactivity for both proteins. Among the two cell populations, parvalbumin immunoreactivity characterizes basket neurons while calbindin immunoreactivity characterizes double bouquet neurons. These findings suggest that the two GABA cell types differ in their regulation of calcium homeostasis and may yield clues to their different roles in intracortical circuitry.

    Notes: Summary The presence of 28 kDa calbindin in human odontoblasts was studied by use of specific antibodies raised against chick duodenal 28 kDa calbindin, in immunofluorescence, immuno-peroxidase, and electron-microscopic labelling experiments. The calbindin-like protein was detected mainly in the cytoplasm of odontoblast cell bodies, in their processes and occasionally in their nuclei. Correspondingly, at the ultrastructural level, immunoreactive material was associated with the cytosol, microfilaments and cilia. These findings suggest that human odontoblasts express a 28 kDa vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, unlike those of rats and mice in which ameloblasts are the only cells immunoreactive for the protein.
