Abstrakt: Monoclonal anti-Thy 1 antibody (OX7) was pressure microinjected into vagus nerve, tongue or caudate nucleus of rats. Indirect anti-IgG immunoperoxidase staining showed that OX7 was axonally transported antero- and/or retrogradely from all injection sites. Histological examination and behavioral observations did not reveal neurotoxicity from these single OX7 injections. We conclude OX7 may prove useful as a carrier for selectively targeting molecules at neurons via endocytosis and axonal transport.
