Using single-cell suspensions of mechanically dissociated, prenatal BDIX-rat brain cells (13th, 15th, and 21st days after fertilization) for immunization, we have established a collection of 37 monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) directed against neural cell surface determinants. The developmental-stage-dependent expression of cell-surface antigens recognized by these Mabs was analyzed both on plasma membranes isolated from whole brains of BDIX rats (prenatal days 13-22 and adults) using an indirect 125I solid-phase radioimmunoassay, and on intact BDIX-rat brain cells (prenatal days 13-22) using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Different types of developmental stage-dependent profiles of Mab binding were found, these being indicative of the presence of neural cell surface determinants whose expression increases, decreases, or does not change with brain development. Some of the Mab-binding profiles showed transient changes as a function of developmental stage. These Mabs are currently being used for the characterization, reproducible identification, and isolation of neural cell subpopulations of the developing rat brain, with the aim of investigating the cell type dependence and developmental (differentiation) stage dependence of malignant transformation following pulse exposure to the carcinogen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea at defined stages of brain development.
