| Abstract;The brain of a 28-year-old male masked palm civet, Paguma larvata, without neurological signs was examined by light microscopy and histochemistry. The amyloid-.BETA.-protein immunostaining revealed that many senile plaques were disseminated throughout the cerebral cortex. A large number of polyglucosan bodies(PGB) were found throughout the brain, especially in the cerebellar cortex. PGB were round, basophilic and PAS-positive structures. They were situated free in the neuropil. Civet PGB were immunoreactive for a monoclonal antibody to human polyglucosan. A list of other changes includes amyloid angiopathy, an accumulation of lipofuscin, axonal spheroids, fibrous thickening of leptomeninges, and perivascular accumulation of lipid-laden cells. However, Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles could not be found. (author abst.) |
