Immunocytochemistry for choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the synthesizing enzyme for acetylcholine, was used to determine the onset and to follow the maturation of the cholinergic cells in the retina of a marsupial, the South American opossum (Didelphis aurita). ChAT-immunoreactivity was first detected in amacrine cells in the ganglion cell layer by postnatal day 15 (P15) and in the inner nuclear layer by P35. Much later, at P50 a second sub-population of ChAT-immunoreactive cell bodies was evident in the inner nuclear layer. Processes from ChAT-immunoreactive amacrine cells were detected in the two bands of the inner plexiform layer before synaptogenesis. In the adult retina, these two bands correspond to sublamina 2 and 4 of the inner plexiform layer. In flat whole-mounted preparations, cholinergic cell density was 263 +/- 13 cells/mm2 in the ganglion cell layer and it was estimated a total of 24,000 cholinergic neurons. ChAT-immunoreactive somata showed a random pattern of distribution.
