Immunofluorescence localization of pancreatic polypeptide hormone in the pancreas of foetal and adult sheep.
Pancreatic polypeptide (PP) immunoreactive cells were demonstrated in the pancreas of foetal and adult sheep by immunofluorescence histochemistry. These observations provide evidence that in the sheep the pancreas is a major site of production of the hormone and that PP may be physiologically important in foetal life.
