Substance P-, neurotensin- and bombesin-like immunoreactivities in the gill epithelium of Ciona intestinalis L.
Substance P-, neurotensin- and bombesin-like immunoreactivities were localised in some gill epithelial cells in the pharynx of Ciona intestinalis L. No immunoreactivity was obtained with antisera to gastrin, glucagon, insulin, pancreatic polypeptide or calcitonin. Some of the epithelial cells of the gills were shown to be argyrophilic with the Grimelius technique.
