Anti-c-kit protein immunoreactive cells corresponding to the interstitial cells of Cajal in the guinea-pig small intestine

Journal of the Autonomic Nervous System

Abstract

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) of the guinea-pig small intestine were studied with whole-mount preparations by using the zinc iodide-osmic acid method (ZIO) and immunohistochemistry for vimentin and c-kit receptor tyrosine kinase, and by electron microscopy. The myenteric ICC visualized with ZIO staining are immunopositive to both anti-c-kit antibody (ACK-2) and anti-vimentin antibody (V9), and constitute an independent cellular network from the myenteric plexus. Those cells are characterized by many mitochondria, abundant intermediate filaments, and surface cell membranes not covered with a basal lamina. They are connected with each other by gap junctions at tips of the cytoplasmic processes. It is concluded that the myenteric ICC of the guinea-pig intestine are fibroblast-like cells and that they correspond to the c-kit expressing cells regarded as the intestinal pacemaker.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
