Mapping of neurochemical markers in quail central nervous system: VIP- and SP-like immunoreactivity

Abstract

The distribution of cells and fibres containing vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and substance P (SP) was investigated in the brain of Japanese quail focussing on the centers involved in reproductive activities. SP-immunoreactive (ir) structures were chiefly present within the ventral telencephalic regions, the periventricular hypothalamus and the dorsal aspects of thalamus. VIP immunopositive structures were rarely associated with recognizable nuclei and they were observed in the organum septi laterale (LSO), the lobus paraolfactorius (LPO), the eminentia mediana (ME), the nucleus striae terminalis (nST) and the area ventralis of Tsai (AVT). SP- and VIP-ir structures were both associated with regions implicated in the control of reproduction. SP was mainly distributed within regions that control male copulatory behavior (the preoptic region, the anterior hypothalamus and the central gray), whereas VIP was prevalently located in the mediobasal hypothalamus that is implicated in the control of female reproductive activities.

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.
