Immunocytochemical localization of glutamate decarboxylase in the mesothoracic ganglion of Locusta migratoria.
Glutamate decarboxylase immunoreactivity has been located in the thoracic ganglia of the locust, Locusta migratoria, using an antiserum raised from rat brain. At the light microscopic level clusters of nerve cell somata as well as nerve fibres were positively labelled by the antiserum. Electron microscopy showed that glutamic acid decarboxylase was localized in numerous synaptic terminals.
