[Interleukin-6 in rat pterygopalatine ganglion neurons].
Rat pterygopalatine ganglion was studied by indirect immunofluorescent method to detect and to localize the neurons expressing IL-6. The highest concentration of IL-6-immunopositive cells was found in the cranial part of the ganglion, while ganglion medial surface and caudal part contained single cells demonstrating bright fluorescence; less common groups of immunopositive neurons, organized in chains, were found in the middle part of the ganglion near its lateral border that is in contact with maxillar nerve.
