چکیده

The indirect immunofluorescence technique with antisera either to avian pancreatic polypeptide or to bovine pancreatic polypeptide stains nerve fibers in the guinea pig eye. In all regions of the uvea, immunoreactive fibers are present around large blood vessels; an association of immunoreactive nerve fibers to melanocytes is seen. Immunoreactive nerves are found throughout the choroid, including the choriocapillaris. In the ciliary body, they are seen in individual ciliary processes. The iris dilator muscle and, to a lesser degree, its sphincter are innervated. The chamber angle of the anterior segment contains immunoreactive nerve fibers, but convincing innervation to the cornea is lacking. No retinal cells stain. With some exceptions, the distribution of peripheral nerve fibers parallels that of the adrenergic innervation. Appropriate controls are negative.

Distinct substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive nerves in the guinea pig eye.

Using a double labeling indirect immunofluorescent technique, we studied the guinea pig trigeminal ganglion and eye for co-localization of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide. In the trigeminal ganglion, the number of neurons immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide significantly outnumber those immunoreactive for substance P, but virtually all substance P positive neurons...

Peptide immunoreactive nerves and cells of the guinea pig gall bladder and biliary pathways.

Using the methods of immunocytochemistry and radioimmunoassay, five peptides (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), substance P, somatostatin, met-enkephalin, and bombesin) have been found in the gall bladder and the biliary tracts of guinea pig and each of them possesses a characteristic distribution pattern. Networks of nerves containing each peptide were found in the smooth muscle, around...

Localization of cholinergic innervation in guinea pig heart by immunohistochemistry for high-affinity choline transporters.

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have used acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry to identify cholinergic nerves in the heart, but this enzyme is not a selective marker for cholinergic neurons. This study maps cholinergic innervation of guinea pig heart using a new antibody to the human high-affinity choline transporter (CHT), which is present only in cholinergic nerves. METHODS Immunohistochem...

Immunocytochemical localizations of neuron-specific proteins in the taste bud of the guinea pig.

The taste buds and their nerves in the guinea pig were immunocytochemically investigated with regard to the localization of spot 35 protein, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neurofilament protein (NFP), and S-100 protein. The spot 35 protein-like immunoreactivity was confined to slender cells comprising half the number of taste bud cells. NSE-like immunoreactivity was recognized in some taste bud...

An Immunohistochemical Study of the Insulin-, Glucagon-, Orexin A- and Ghrelin- Immunoreactive Cells in the Endocrine Pancreas of Guinea Pig

The present study was conducted to clarify the regional distribution and relative frequency of endocrine cells secreting insulin, glucagon, orexin A (OXA) and ghrelin in the pancreatic islets of guinea pig, by specific immunohistochemical methods. In the pancreatic islets, most of insulin-IR cells were detected in the central region, partially in mantle region. Glucagon-IR cells were located in...
