Intrinsic vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-containing neurons in the baroreceptor nucleus of the solitary tract in rat. 1982

M Palkovits, and C Léránth, and L E Eiden, and W Rotsztejn, and T H Williams

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-immunoreactive cell bodies, dendrites and nerve terminals in the nucleus of the solitary tract have been identified with electron microscopic immunocytochemistry in rats. The relatively high concentration of VIP in this nucleus, which corresponds to the primary baroreceptor center, was depleted only insignificantly by uni- or bilateral transection of the solitary tract, which eliminates peripheral neuronal (via glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves) input to the nucleus. Both immunocytochemical and biochemical data suggest that the majority of VIP in the nucleus of the solitary tract is present in intrinsic neurons.

D008526	Medulla Oblongata	The lower portion of the BRAIN STEM. It is inferior to the PONS and anterior to the CEREBELLUM. Medulla oblongata serves as a relay station between the brain and the spinal cord, and contains centers for regulating respiratory, vasomotor, cardiac, and reflex activities.

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

D011863	Radioimmunoassay	Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
