The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been widely studied in the early embryonal development of the nervous system. The data about NCAM distribution in the peripheral nerves during postnatal life are scant and some controversial. In the present study, the NCAM localization in the sciatic nerves of 15-day-old Wistar rats has been studied. Semi-thin sections of the nerves were immunotested with a polyclonal antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) that recognizes rat NCAM. The antibody was visualized with donkey anti-goat IgG, conjugated to 12 nm colloidal gold, and silver amplification. In the myelinated nerve fibres, the immunoreactivity was associated with the axons, mainly with their plasma membrane, which was unstained in the nodes of Ranvier. The myelin sheaths and the myelinating Schwann cells were negative. The extracellular matrix and the bundles of non-myelinated nerve fibres were immunopositive.
