Immunohistochemical demonstration of EC cells in rat gastrointestinal tract.
Selective immunohistochemical demonstration of enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the rat gastrointestinal tract has been carried out, using a highly specific rabbit antiserotonin (5-HT) serum and the unlabeled peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex (PAP) technique. The daily profile of the EC cell density was also studied using this method. No significant change was recorded.
