title: Immunofluorescence localization of pancreatic polypeptide hormone in the pancreas of foetal and adult sheep.
abstract: 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.
