Localisation of histamine-immunoreactivity in specific neurones of the gastropod CNS including a cell which has been identified as histaminergic.
Immunohistochemical procedures revealed the occurrence of histamine-like immunoreactivity in specific neurones in the gastropod nervous system. Positive staining was also associated with a characterised neurone known from previous biochemical studies to contain histamine. The proof of the restriction of histamine to specific neurones and the availability of a suitable antiserum to localise the amine makes it possible to examine the role of the compound in different nervous systems.
