title: Immunohistochemical colocalization of 7B2 and 5HT in the neuroepithelial bodies of the lung of Rana temporaria.
abstract: The neuroendocrine cell population of the lung of Rana temporaria has been studied by means of immunocytochemistry. Serotonin (5HT)- and polypeptide 7B2-immunoreactive neuroepithelial bodies have been observed in the epithelial lining of the lung. 5HT- but not 7B2-immunoreactive isolated endocrine cells have also been observed.
