Rat endomyocardial disease: a neural origin?
Of 58 cardiac lesions in rats from a Sprague-Dawley-derived strain, representing different stages of endomyocardial disease including 10 cases progressing to tumors, most stained positively for S-100 protein, while duplicate sections of selected cases also reacted positively for neuron-specific enolase. The results demonstrate the probable neural origin of these lesions.
