The cloning of cDNAs that encode functional glutamate receptors makes it
possible to produce antibodies that can be used as high-affinity probes for
the localization and characterization of these receptors in the mammalian
brain. We have made antibodies to different regions of the first cloned
member of this family, GluR1, using bacterially overproduced antigen. On
Western blots, these antisera detect glycoprotein(s) of 105 kDa present in
crude membranes of the hippocampus and cerebellum. The 105-kDa band is
associated with postsynaptic densities, and it is observed in cultured
cells upon transfection with the GluR1 cDNA. Although glutamate receptors
are thought to be the most prevalent excitatory ligand-gated ion channel in
the mammalian brain, immunohistochemistry reveals that the receptors
recognized by these antisera are localized predominantly in neurons of the
cerebellum and some structures of the limbic system, including the
hippocampus, the central nucleus of the amygdala, and portions of the
septum. This pattern of expression is, in general, consistent with the
distribution of GluR1 mRNA as determined by in situ hybridization
histochemistry. Our results suggest that glutamate excitatory circuits
recognized by these antisera are predominantly found in regions of the
limbic system that are reciprocally interconnected.
