Corticotropin-releasing factor in the amacrine cells of the chicken retina.
The distribution of ovine corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-like immunoreactivity (CRFI) in the chicken retina was investigated by means of immunohistochemistry. The observations from frozen sections show that CRFI is localized in the stratified amacrine cells of the fourth sublayer . Whole-mount preparations revealed that these amacrine cells are moderately concentrated in the inferior part of the retina.
