We employed a highly sensitive combination method of retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry to identify calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-containing fiber pathways in the rat from the ventrolateral part of the ventrolateral thalamic nucleus (vl-vl) and the caudal continuation to the insular cortex. Biotin-wheat germ agglutinin (B-WGA) injected into the insular cortex labeled numerous neurons in the vl-vl and the caudal continuation ipsilaterally; simultaneous staining with CGRP antiserum revealed that some of these neurons are CGRP positive.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D015740 Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin gene. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in the brain, gut, perivascular nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent endogenous vasodilator.
