    Notes: Summary Lectin histochemistry was investigated to identify sugar residues of the polyglucosan bodies of canine brain, spinal cord and caecum. The polyglucosan bodies in the brain and spinal cord stained with concanavalin A (ConA) but not with soybean agglutinin, wheat germ agglutinin, peanut agglutinin,Dolichos biflorus agglutinin,Ricinus communis agglutinin andUlex europaeus agglutinin. Caecum, polyglucosan bodies, however, did not stain with any of the seven lectins employed. After periodate oxidation, paradoxical ConA staining was observed in the polyglucosan bodies of the brain, spinal cord and caecum. These results indicate that polyglucosan bodies contain mannose and glucose residues and suggest that the component of polyglucosan bodies is partially derived from rough endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus and hypolemmal cisternae.

    Notes: Abstract Polyglucosan bodies (PGBs) in the brain of a 12-year-old Holstein cow exhibiting no signs of neurological abormality were examined by light and electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. PGBs were disseminated throughout the brain, especially in the pallidum, thalamus and cerebellum. Cow PGBs were found in the neuronal perikaryon and in the neuropil. These were round, slightly to severely basophilic, and were strongly positive for the periodic acid-Schiff reaction. The cow PGBs were immunoreactive for monoclonal antibodies raised against human polyglucosan. Electron microscopic analysis revealed that they were composed of branching filaments, glycogen granules and electrondense meterial. These findings indicate that cow PGBs closely resemble human or canine PGBs in Lafora's disease and PGBs found in aged animals that have been reported previously.

    Notes: Summary In our recent studies on aging phenomena in animals, polyglucosan bodies (PGB) were found within the smooth muscle in the digestive tract of aged dogs without neurologic signs. PGB were basophilic, round, or oval bodies which appeared to have a homogenous or concentric shape. Their histochemical properties were characterized by the presence of glucose polymers (polyglucosan). Electron microscopy revealed that PGB were composed mainly of irregularly clustered, short branching filaments measuring about 90 Å in width. PGB were histochemically and ultrastructurally identical to the previously reported Lafora-like bodies in the CNS of aged dogs. PGB were found in all aged dogs and were disseminated throughout the digestive tract, especially in the cecum.

    Notes: Summary With the use of monoclonal antibodies, raised against the human polyglucosan, positive staining of polyglucosan bodies (PGB) was detected in the brain, spinal cord and cecum of aged dogs. PGB in feline brain were also positively stained with these antibodies. These findings indicate that animal PGB share common antigenicity with human PGB.
