Some mammalian retinae lack FMRF-amide-like immunoreactive efferents.

چکیده
The retinae of a monkey, cat, rat and mouse were examined for FMRF-amide immunoreactivity, a marker for efferent fibers in the retinae of lower vertebrates. No FMRF-amide immunoreactive retinal fibers were found despite their presence in the rat CNS. Therefore, we conclude that efferent fibers, if present in mammalian retinae, are immunologically different from efferent fibers in lower vertebrates.

Distribution of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity and its relationship to FMRF-amide-like immunoreactivity in the sixth lumbar and first sacral spinal cord segments of the rat.
The present study was aimed at describing the distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity in the sixth lumbar (L6) and first sacral segments (S1) of the rat spinal cord, comparing this distribution to that of FMRF-amide-like immunoreactivity and determining whether NPY- and FMRF-amide-like immunoreactivities are present in the same neurons in the dorsal gray commissure (DGC) in L...
متن کاملFMRF-amide-like substances in the leech. I. Immunocytochemical localization.
FMRF-amide-like immunoreactivity (FLI) was localized to approximately 50 neurons in each segmental ganglion of the medicinal leech using immunocytochemical techniques. Although most of these neurons were iterated in each segmental ganglion, some were more restricted in their segmental distribution. The head and tail ganglia likewise contained numerous FMRF-amide-like immunoreactive cells. In ad...
متن کاملThe goldfish nervus terminalis: a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone and molluscan cardioexcitatory peptide immunoreactive olfactoretinal pathway.
Antisera to two putative neurotransmitters, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) and molluscan cardioexcitatory tetrapeptide (H-Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2; FMRF-amide), bind specifically to neurites in the inner nuclear and inner plexiform layers of the goldfish retina. Retrograde labeling showed that intraocular axon terminals originate from the nervus terminalis, whose cell bodies are locate...

In the preceding paper (Kuhlman, J. R., C. Li, and R. L. Calabrese (1985) J. Neurosci. 5: 2301-2309) FMRF-amide-like immunoreactivity was localized to a specific set of neurons in the leech. Three types of these neurons are involved in controlling the animal's heartbeat: HE motor neurons and HA modulatory neurons which directly innervate the hearts, and the swim-initiating interneurons (cells 2...
متن کاملComparative immunohistochemical and biochemical analysis of pancreatic polypeptide-like peptides with special reference to presence of neuropeptide Y in central and peripheral neurons.
Antisera raised against porcine neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) were characterized with regard to immunohistochemical staining, cross-reactivity to several pancreatic polypeptide (PP)-related peptides, and radioimmunoassayable tissue levels in the rat and pig. The NPY antiserum (102B) reacted with nerves in many areas of both the central and peripheral nervous systems, but it did not ...
