Abstract
The expression of NeuN protein was examined immunocytochemically in the neurons of human substantia nigra (n=14, age: 27–78 years). Some of substantia nigra neurons demonstrated weak NeuN immunopositive reaction, while the others were NeuN-immunonegative. In general, NeuN immunocytochemical reaction in neurons of human substantia nigra was expressed much weaker than in the nucleus rubrum neurons located in the same sections.
