Previous work has shown the vasopressin-secreting cells of the supraoptic nucleus receive a cholinergic input from a region dorsolateral to the nucleus, and that acetylcholine (ACh) activation of these cells is blocked by nicotinic antagonists. This work reports that a monoclonal antibody, directed against the alpha-subunit of the nicotinic ACh receptor isolated from Electrophorus electricus, stains certain hypothalamic cells and processes, particularly in regions associated with vasopressin-containing neurones.
先前的研究表明,视上核分泌血管加压素的细胞接受来自该核背外侧区域的胆碱能输入,并且这些细胞的乙酰胆碱(ACh)激活被烟碱拮抗剂阻断。这项研究报告称,一种针对从电鳗分离出的烟碱型ACh受体α亚基的单克隆抗体,可使某些下丘脑细胞和突起着色,特别是在与含血管加压素神经元相关的区域。
