title: Immunohistochemical demonstration of ornithine decarboxylase in tissues. A preliminary study.
abstract: Using the unlabeled immunoenzyme technique, ornithine decarboxylase immunoreactivity was demonstrated in rat prostate gland and kidney. Three types of prostate epithelial cells could be revealed, displaying different strength of ODC immunoreactivity. In rat kidneys, ODC was found in proximal and distal tubules of immature tissue. Both tissues served as paradigms to optimize the immunohistochemical approach for ODC localization.
