Annotation: A total of 65 male, specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley albino rats (Anticimex AB, Stockholm, Sweden) was used.Different postnatal stages (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 21, 30 days) and adult rats (150-200 g body weigh) were studied.

Annotation: ... mouse monoclonal antibodies against synthetic cyclic somatostatin 15-28 conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanine (antibody 8, Buchan et al. 1985) were applied in a dilution of 30 micrograms protein/ml. .the sections were... incubated with fluoresceine isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated to goat (1:40; Boehringer Mannheim Scandinavia, Stockholm, Sweden) or sheep (1:10, Amersham, Little Chalfont, England) anti-mouse antibodies for 30 min at 37C. In addition control experiments using sections of the cerebellum at different stages of development were performed by incubation with antibodies preabsorbed with 10 micrograms SOM 15-28 peptide (Peninsula Labs, Belmont, CA, USA) per ml diluted antibody.

Anatomy and histology
Section plane: coronalAngle: not specifiedCutting method: microtome Preservation: freezing Thickness: 14 micrometer
Staining type: cresyl violet Sampling: 1:2 Annotation: The cerebellum was frozen and cut in the frontal or sagittal plane into 14 btm sections on a cryostat (Dittes, Heidelberg, FRG). Two series of adjacent sections were placed on glass slides coated with gelatin and chrom-alum. One series was stained with cresyl violet, the other was processed according to the routine indirect immunofluorescence technique of Coons and collaborators (see Coons 1958).
