Fig. 1. Uptake of [3H] ACHC by neural tissues. Slices (0.1 x 0.1 x 2 mm) of cerebral cortex s (10 mg), individual retinae 7 (about 10 mg) or individual desheathed ganglia a were given a preliminary incubation for 10 min at the temperatures indicated in 5 ml Krebs' bicarbonate medium.[aH] ACHC was added to give a final concentration of 0.1/~ M and the incubation continued. The tissue was then recovered, washed in fresh medium at 25 C, and transferred to counting vials. The radioactivity was extracted by dissolving the tissue in Soluene-350 (Packard) and measured by liquid scintillation counting, the counts being corrected for efficier) cy by the channel ratio method. Each point is the mean of 4-6 results and the SEMs were less than 10. The results for sympathetic and spinal ganglia were identical and are labelled'ganglia'.[aH] ACHC was most rapid in cortical slices incubated at 37 C and a tissue: medium ratio of almost 12 was achieved after an incubation period of 30 min. In two experiments, the radioactivity accumulated by cortical slices during 30 min incubations at 37 C was extracted by homogenizing the tissue in water. The homogenate was heated to 100 C for 5 min and centrifuged. The supernatant was then subjected to chromatographic analysis which showed that more than 95~ of the radioactivity corresponded to authentic ACHC, indicating an absence of any metabolism of the accumulated material. Thus, in subsequent experiments the accumulation of radioactivity was taken as measure of [aH] ACHC uptake. The isolated frog retina in which GABA uptake is neuronal but confined to a small specific group of cells (horizontal cells) 19 also accumulated [3H] ACHC (Fig. 1) although, after 30 min incubation, the uptake was only about one-third that of cortical slices incubated at the same temperature (25 C). In contrast, spinal ganglia and sympathetic ganglia, tissues in which GABA uptake is restricted to glial cells, did not accumulate [aH] ACHC (Fig. 1). In both types of ganglia the tissue: medium ratios reached only 0.7 after 60 min incubations, a value indicating accumulation only in the extracellular water. The rat retina, in which GABA uptake is also predominantly glial, was found to accumulate about the same amount of [3H] ACHC when incubated at 37 C as the frog retina at 25 C (Fig. 1). This result is not, at first sight, consistent with ACHC having affinity only for the neuronal GABA transport system, but it is
