Immunohistochemical mapping of rat brain delta opioid receptor.
Delta opioid receptors were immunohistochemically mapped in the rat brain with anti-idiotypic antibodies to anti-leucine enkephalin specific for the receptor. Regions of highest receptor binding were in the cerebral cortex and caudate putamen Lower receptor binding was mapped to the hypothalamus and claustrum.
