The co-localization of various antigens in rat chromaffin granules was investigated by the immunogold staining procedure. In ultrathin serial sections staining of chromaffin granules was obtained with antisera against chromogranin A, chromogranin B, secretogranin II and neuropeptide Y. These results indicated that these antigens are costored within chromaffin granules. To further corroborate this point a double immunogold staining procedure was used. This method unequivocally established that chromogranin A, chromogranin B, secretogranin II and neuropeptide Y are co-localized in the same chromaffin granules. These results are relevant for studies demonstrating changes in the level of these peptides in adrenal medulla. The co-localization makes it likely that such changes lead to a different relative composition of the secretory quanta of chromaffin granules.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.

D002864 Chromogranins A group of acidic proteins that are major components of SECRETORY GRANULES in the endocrine and neuroendocrine cells. They play important roles in the aggregation, packaging, sorting, and processing of secretory protein prior to secretion. They are cleaved to release biologically active peptides. There are various types of granins, usually classified by their sources. Chromogranin,Granin,Secretogranin,Secretogranins,Granins
