SummaryNeural Ca2+-binding proteins (NCaPs) constitute a subfamily of 4-EF-hand proteins, and display a histological and structural dichotomy: the A-type NCaPs are selectively expressed by the retina and pineal organ and display two canonical EF-hands, whereas the B-type NCaPs are found in the entire brain and present three regular EF-hands. In this study, antisera were raised against the A-type NCaP recoverin (26 kDa) and the B-type NCaPs VILIP and NCS-1 (22 kDa). Since the sequence identity among NCaPs is high, specific polyclonal antibodies were purified by double cross-immunoaffinity chromatography; both ELISA and immunoblot analyses determined that the resulting antibodies showed selectivity ratios inferior to 1/363 for the two other related NCaPs. Besides, the anti-VILIP antibodies displayed some affinity toward neurocalcin δ, and the antirecoverin antibodies recognized a 24 kDa protein, which is most likely visinin. Thus, immunohistochemical studies on the chicken, rat and cow retina revealed that anti-recoverin antibodies recognized the vertebrate photoreceptors and a small number of mammalian bipolar cells. Anti-VILIP antibodies exclusively labelled the inner Retina, I.e. the amacrine and ganglion cells. NCS-1 was mainly present in the photoreceptor inner segments, the inner plexiform layer and the ganglion cells. NCS-1 showed the highest species disparity. The retinal localization of NCS-1 and VILIP offered an important morphological basis for the understanding of their function. Furthermore, specific antibodies against the NCaPs may enable the identification of cell populations in more complex neural tissues, such as the brain.
