A monoclonal antibody directed against quail tyrosine hydroxylase: description and use in immunocytochemical studies on differentiating neural crest cells

Catecholamine (CA) synthesis is one of the phenotypic traits expressed by some neural crest-derived cells in vivo and in vitro. In the present study, we have evidenced, in quail embryos, the expression of the first enzyme of CA metabolism, tyrosine hydroxylase (TOH), using a monoclonal antibody raised against the quail enzyme. This antibody also recognizes TOH from chick and pleurodele, but not from several mammalian species (rat, human). We have also investigated the extent to which TOH- positive cells, differentiated in neural crest cultures, express structural neuronal markers and display vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and substance P (SP) immunoreactivity. Double- immunolabeling experiments show that, in vitro, half of the population of TOH-positive cells exhibits tetanus toxin binding sites but none of them are recognized by a neurofilament antibody. On the other hand, some TOH-positive cells contain VIP or SP. These observations suggest that under our culture conditions autonomic neural crest precursors differentiate only into immature sympathoblasts, but are able to synthesize peptides in addition to CA.
