Cellular localization of a chromogranin B-like derived peptides in leeches.

: Using immunocytochemistry techniques, we demonstrated specific immunostaining with antibodies rose against fragment (547-560) and (614-626) of bovine chromogranin B (CGB) at the level of brain and the tegument of the leech Theromyzon tessulatum. The used of these antibodies on leech sections revealed immunopositive labeling in neurons.....
