In the chicken retina, choline acetyltransferase-like immunoreactivity (ChAT-LI) defines three populations of cholinergic amacrine cells and two terminal bands in the inner plexiform layer (IPL). Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) histochemistry defines two prominent bands within the IPL which corresponded to those containing ChAT. Other AChE-positive bands in the IPL are not associated with cholinergic transmission sites. Cholinergic cell bodies contain AChE, but the most intensely AChE-positive cells do not appear to be cholinergic. AChE histochemistry may be used to define the major cholinergic synaptic sites in the IPL, and may be a useful marker of IPL lamination.
在鸡视网膜中，胆碱乙酰转移酶样免疫反应性（ChAT-LI）确定了三类胆碱能无长突细胞以及在内网状层（IPL）中的两条终末带。乙酰胆碱酯酶（AChE）组织化学确定了IPL内的两条明显条带，它们与含有ChAT的条带相对应。IPL中的其他AChE阳性条带与胆碱能传递位点无关。胆碱能细胞体含有AChE，但AChE阳性最强的细胞似乎不是胆碱能的。AChE组织化学可用于确定IPL中的主要胆碱能突触位点，并且可能是IPL分层的有用标记。
