We describe a simple and reliable method for differential immunolabeling of pre- and post-synaptic signal peptides at the ultrastructural level. Hypothalamic tissues of rats, including the suprachiasmatic nucleus, were cut on a Vibratome. Visualization of the immunolabeling of somatostatin (SRIH) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) was performed with avidin-biotin-peroxidase-diaminobenzidine (DAB). The end product of the DAB to VIP was further silver-intensified in a physical processing using silver nitrate, and the silver grains were finally substituted for gold. DAB-labeled SRIH fibers synapse on gold-labeled VIP perikarya and dendrites in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

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

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.
