In the present study, the immunohistochemical expression of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) in the parotid gland of rats exposed to fractionated irradiation was examined. VIP concentration was analyzed by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Irradiation lead to a marked increase in the immunohistochemical expression of VIP in the innervation of the gland parenchyme. VIP-like immunoreactivity (LI) frequently coexisted with SP (substance P)-LI in these nerve fibers. The pattern of VIP-innervation in association with large ducts and blood vessel walls was unchanged. RIA analysis revealed a more than three-fold elevation in VIP content in the gland in response to irradiation. The increase in VIP immunoreaction and VIP content was seen at examination ten days after cessation of a five-day treatment with a total dose of 30-40 Gray. The upregulation of VIP may be related to changes in the production of neurotrophic factors and to an increased demand for a potentiation of secretagogue effects of SP.

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. Radioimmunoassays
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.
