[An immunocytochemical study of neuropeptide-like in a ciliated protozoan, Stylonychia mytilus].
An immunocytochemical investigation with both B-SA and ABC methods, under LM and EM, was carried out on Stylonychia mytilus by using 7 antisera to vertebrate neuropeptides, hormones and TH. The immunotests showed the presence of substance p-, neuropeptide y-, cck-8-, somatostatin-, beta-endorphin, adrenocorticotropic hormone-, and TH-like immunoreactive molecules in Stylonychia mytilus. The distributions of these immunoreactive substances in Stylonychia mytilus were described.
