title: Peripheral projections and neuropeptide coexistence in a subpopulation of fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase reactive spinal primary sensory neurons.
abstract: Combined retrograde axonal tracing with the fluorescent dye Fast Blue and fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase (FRAP) histochemistry revealed that the FRAP-containing sensory neurons project to both somatic and autonomic peripheral nerves. Furthermore, the combination of indirect immunohistochemistry after colchicine treatment and FRAP histochemistry showed that a population of FRAP-containing sensory neurons are also substance P, cholecystokinin or somatostatin positive.
