    Abstract:
    The sequelae of cryoinjury to unilateral cerebral cortex were compared in neonatal and adult rats. In neonatal rats, immunostaining for autologous albumin disclosed a wide spread of extravasated albumin in both hemispheres on day 1 and rapid clearance from the tissue by day 7, whereas in adults rats, the distribution of albumin had progressively increased by day 7 and was then restricted to the injury site by day 14. Horseradish peroxidase tracing revealed a leakage of serum proteins by day 3 in neonates and by day 7 in adults. The rapid clearance of serum proteins from the neonatal brain tissue appeared to be promoted by vimentin-positive radial glia in the subpial and periventricular regions. A possible causal relationship between the rapid clearance of serum proteins and unique outcome of the cryoinjury in the neonatal brain is discussed.
