Using an anti-Tn monoclonal antibody, the Tn antigen was detected immunohistochemically in prenatal and early postnatal central nervous tissues. On embryonic day 9 (E9), the antigen was distributed throughout the single neuroepithelial layer in the neocortex and then became more prominent in the preplate than in the ventricular zone along with formation of the preplate. Following division of the preplate and concomitant formation of the cortical plate, distinct labeling of the neocortex occurred in the marginal, subplate and intermediate zones, whereas in the cortical plate and ventricular zone were virtually not immunostained. It is notable that thalamocortical afferent fibers were also immunostained specifically on E14. After birth, the localization of the antigen became less noticeable and by 3 weeks after birth, the antigen had substantially disappeared. In the developing cerebellum, prominent labeling was also observed in the molecular layer and outskirts of the cerebellar nuclei on early postnatal days. To characterize the glycoprotein bearing the Tn antigen biochemically, immunoblot analysis was performed. The glycoprotein, most of which was extracted with a salt solution, migrated as a broad smeared band corresponding to a molecular weight of about 250 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Among the various tissues examined, this glycoprotein was only detected in the brain and its amount increased until an early postnatal stage with a peak on postnatal day 3 (P3), and then decreased gradually with age. This spatially and developmentally regulated expression of the Tn antigen suggests that this antigen plays a significant role in brain development.
