Coexistence of choline acetyltransferase and nerve growth factor receptors in the rat basal forebrain.
Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors have previously been shown to be expressed in magnocellular forebrain neurones in the rat. We have now examined their colocalization in these neurones. Using monoclonal antibodies raised against ChAT and NGF receptors we demonstrate here a high degree of colocalization.
