title: Demonstration of actin in neurosecretory cells by treatment with nitrobenzoxadiazole-phallacidin.
abstract: Serial sections containing neurosecretory cells from chicken hypothalamus were cut after fixation in formaldehyde and embedding in paraffin. Sections were exposed to NBD-Ph (nitrobenzoxadiazole-phallacidin) and showed evidence of containing actin. By using a medium with sodium borohydride, non-specific fluorescence could be excluded.
