Popis: Ca2+ -binding proteins are differentially expressed in the nervous system; their functional role often remains unclear. This immunohistochemical study aimed at characterising and comparing the expression pattern of the Ca2+ -binding proteins calbindin (Calb), calretinin (Calr) and parvalbumin (Parv) in the retina of four species of macaque monkeys: Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus macaque), M. mulatta (rhesus macaque), M. thibetana (Tibetan macaque) and M. fuscata (Japanese macaque). Calb was found in cone photoreceptors and in a subset of bipolar cells. Calr was expressed in a subpopulation of amacrine cells. Parv was present in horizontal and ganglion cells. In addition, Muller cells were stained using antibodies against the specific marker cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP). Immunostainings were used for calculation of the density of different cell populations. The expression pattern was similar between the examined species and between retinal regions.
