title: Nerve growth factor receptor immunoreactivity in the neuronal perikarya of human sensory and sympathetic nerve ganglia.
abstract: We examined immunohistochemically the dorsal root ganglia, sympathetic ganglia, spinal cord, ventral and dorsal roots, and sciatic nerves obtained at autopsy from adult humans, using a monoclonal antibody against the human nerve growth factor receptor. We observed labelling in a granular pattern in the neuronal perikarya of dorsal root and sympathetic nerve ganglia. Ventral horn cells and axons were not labelled.
