title: Immunofluorescent localization of insulin-like material in the median neurosecretory cells of the blowfly, Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera).
abstract: Immunocytochemical staining has shown that the median neurosecretory cells (MNC) of the brain of the blowfly, Calliphora vomitoria, contain an insulin-like material which cross reacts with antibodies to bovine insulin. There are 24-26 paraldehyde fuchsin-positive MNC of which only 6-8 show the specific insulin-like immunoreactivity.
