Localisation of substance P immunoreactivity in amacrine cells of the retina

Nature
H J Karten, N Brecha

Abstract

Since its actions on smooth muscle were first described by von Euler and Gaddum, substance P has been isolated and characterised as an undecapeptide. The distribution of substance P-like immunoreactivity in both the central and peripheral nervous systems and its reported excitatory action on neurones implicate substance P as a possible neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator. Previous studies using bioassay and radioimmunoassay techniques have reported substance P in retinal extracts. Here we describe the specific immunohistochemical localisation of substance P-like immunoreactivity in a population of morphologically distinct amacrine cells of the pigeon retina. The localisation of substance P-like immunoreactivity and the recent localisation of enkephalin-like and somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in other types of amacrine cells suggest that the neuropeptides have a specific role in retinal function.

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.
