  • Title: Immunocytochemical detection of endocrine cells in the gut of Viviparus ater (Mollusca, Gastropoda).
    Author: Franchini A, Rebecchi B, Fantin AM.
    Journal: Eur J Histochem; 1994; 38(3):237-44. PubMed ID: 7530517.
    Abstract:
    The presence of endocrine cells was investigated by immunocytochemical procedures in the gut and salivary gland of Viviparus ater, a freshwater prosobranch gastropod. The endocrine cells were scanty and both of closed and open cell type. Most of them were located in the esophagus (immunostaining with anti-gastrin, anti-insulin, anti-serotonin and anti-substance P antisera), very few in the stomach (immunoreactive only to anti-gastrin antibody) and in proximal part of the intestine (immunoreactive to anti-serotonin and anti-substance P antibodies). In the salivary glands, occasional endocrine cells scattered among the glandular cells in the adenomera stained with anti-neuropeptide Y, anti-pancreatic polypeptide and anti-somatostatin sera were detected.
