title: Interleukin-6 in neurons of the pterygopalatine ganglion of the rat.
abstract: An indirect immunofluorescence method was used to study the pterygopalatine nerve ganglion in rats with the aim of determining the identification and locations within it of neurons expressing IL-6. A low density of IL-6-immunoreactive cells was seen in the cranial area of the ganglion; the medial surface and caudal area contained occasional cells demonstrating nuclear fluorescence; rarer groups of cells, organized into chains, were seen in the intermediate part of the ganglion on its lateral margin contacting the maxillary nerve.
