Glutamate Receptor-Like Immunoreactivity in Rat Vibrissal Merkel Cells
Recent functional data has raised the possibility that an excitatory amino acid, such as glutamate, may act as neurotransmitter in vibrissal type I slowly adapting (St I) mechanoreceptors. It is supposed that Merkel cells respond to mechanical stimulation by releasing a neurotransmitter which acts on the nerve terminals in contact with the Merkel cells. Therefore, we sought to establish whether...
متن کاملSynaptophysin immunoreactivity in the cat cochlear nuclei.
The presence of synaptophysin, a presynaptic Ca2+ binding glycoprotein, has been analyzed in the cochlear nucleus complex of the adult cat using an antisynaptophysin monoclonal antibody. Synaptophysin immunoreactivity was differently distributed between regions of cochlear nuclei. Terminal boutons contacting directly with neurons (cell bodies and dendrites) or in the neuropil of ventral and dor...
متن کاملHCN4-like immunoreactivity in rat retinal ganglion cells.
Antisera directed against hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-sensitive (HCN) channels bind to somata in the ganglion cell layer of rat and rabbit retinas, and mRNA for different HCN channel isoforms has been detected in the ganglion cell layer of mouse retina. However, previous studies neither provided evidence that any of the somata are ganglion cells (as opposed to displaced amacr...
متن کاملA simple dot-immunobinding assay for quantification of synaptophysin-like immunoreactivity in human brain.
Neocortical decreases in synaptic density correlate significantly with the cognitive impairment seen in Alzheimer disease. Recently available monoclonal antibodies (MAb) have made possible the highly specific and sensitive detection of synapse-associated proteins in immunocytochemical and immunochemical techniques. We describe a simple yet highly sensitive dot-immunobinding assay for relative q...
متن کاملUnexpected maspin immunoreactivity in Merkel cell carcinoma
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine tumor, which multifactorial etiopathogenesis seems to be related to ultraviolet radiation, Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), and immunosuppression. In this paper, we present three cases of diagnosed MCC in apparently healthy Caucasians, two of them located in a sun-exposed area. They represented 0.25 % of all cutaneous ...
