  • Title: VIP-, enkephalin-, substance P- and somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in neurons intrinsic to the intestine: immunohistochemical evidence from organotypic tissue cultures.
    Author: Schultzberg M, Dreyfus CF, Gershon MD, Hökfelt T, Elde RP, Nilsson G, Said S, Goldstein M.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1978 Oct 27; 155(2):239-48. PubMed ID: 356933.
    Abstract:
    Small intestine from 18-day fetal mice grown for 3 weeks in organotypic tissue culture was found to contain numerous VIP, enkephalin, substance P and some somatostatin immunoreactive nerve fibers. Since these cultures should be devoid of all afferent or other extrinsic neuronal inputs, it is concluded that there are VIP, enkephalin, substance P and somatostatin containing neurons intrinsic to the intestinal wall. However, all 4 peptides may also be present in neurons originating outside the gastrointestinal tract as well as in the intrinsic neurons.
