Immunohistochemical localization of bursin in epithelial cells of the avian bursa of Fabricius.
Antibodies to the avian B-cell-differentiating hormone bursin (lysyl-histidyl-glycine amide) were raised in mice and rabbits by immunizing with bursin conjugates in Freund's adjuvant. Immunohistochemical staining with these bursin-specific antibodies was restricted to follicular and dendritic reticular epithelial cells of the bursa of Fabricius, and was not found in control avian tissues.
