Cholinergic nerve terminals in the rat diaphragm are chromogranin A immunoreactive.
Cholinergic nerve terminals in the rat diaphragm contain binding activity for antisera raised against either bovine or rat adrenal medulla chromogranin A. This was shown using indirect FITC immunofluorescence and rhodamine-labelled alpha-bungarotoxin to mark the endplates. No immunoreactivity was found for chromogranin B and secretogranin II.
