Immunological probes reveal spatial and developmental diversity in insect neuroglia

MR Meyer, GR Reddy and JS Edwards

A set of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) has been generated that recognizes distinct classes of neuroglia in the adult nervous system of the cricket Acheta domesticus corresponding to glial types distinguished by morphological criteria. These include antibodies that bind to the neuroglia of the ganglionic cortex, perineurium, neuropil, and glia associated with the glial lacunar system (interface) and fiber tracts. Another MAb specifically labels components of the neural lamella, a complex extracellular matrix secreted by underlying perineurial cells. Selected adult glial-specific MAbs recognize particular glial antigens expressed during embryonic development of Acheta. Immunohistochemical staining of frozen sections of late- (90- 95%) and intermediate- (50-55%) stage whole embryos reveals that the spatial distribution, degree of tissue restriction, or level of expression of some glial determinants changes as development proceeds. Labeling of certain neuroblasts in the embryonic CNS at 50-55% development by an antibody (MAb 3G6) that binds to neuropil glia in the adult CNS implies that at least 1 class of insect glia may be generated by these cells.
