title: Coexistence of calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P-like peptide in single cells of the trigeminal ganglion of the rat: immunohistochemical analysis.
abstract: The localization of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) in the rat trigeminal ganglion was examined by means of the indirect immunofluorescent method. About 40% of neurons in the ganglion contained CGRP-like immunoreactivity (CGRPI), while about 20% of neurons showed SP-like immunoreactivity (SPI). In serial sections, nearly all the SPI neurons contained CGRPI.
