Localization of chromatographically characterized oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin to sensory neurones in the rat.
Following treatment with colchicine 50-60% of all neurones in rat trigeminal and L5 spinal ganglia showed oxytocin (OXT)- and arginine-vasopressin (AVP)-like immunoreactivity. Further, OXT and AVP, together with their associated neurophysins, could be isolated from trigeminal ganglia by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography followed by radioimmunoassay.
