ABSTRACT
The monoclonal antibody CAF-I recognises a glucuronic acid-containing epitope present on various acidic glycosphingolipids of Calliphora vicina. Immunohistochemistry was performed on CAF-I-labelled whole-mount preparations of the central nervous system, visualised by peroxidase-conjugated second antibody. A differential, temporal and spatial expression of this epitope in metamorphosing nervous tissue was outlined, that apparently characterises homologous neuronal populations in two phylogenetically distinct holometabolous insects, i.e. Calliphora vicina and Tenebrio molitor. Implications for a functional interpretation of insect glyco(sphingo)lipids in tissue development are discussed.
