title: [Immunohistochemical demonstration of neuropeptide Y in the normal human thymus and in thymoma].
abstract: The distribution of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity in normal thymic parenchyma and in thymoma was evaluated in order to characterize the typical aspects of the thymic peptidergic pattern of innervation in normal and pathological conditions. The possible role of neuropeptide Y in neuromodulation of the immunological response is discussed.
