title: Gamma-melanocyte-stimulating hormone-like immunoreactivity in blood cells of human eosinophilic patients.
abstract: The immunohistochemical localization of the peptide gamma-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (gamma-MSH) within human polymorphonuclear leucocytes of blood from eosinophilic patients is described. The gamma-MSH immunoreactivity was observed only in neutrophilic granulocytes leaving all other cell types immuno-negative.
