TISSUE EVALUATION:
Formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded sections (5-6 microns thick) of human small intestine were used in the evaluation of this antiserum.
IMMUNOPEROXIDASE
STAINING:
1. The sections to be stained are hydrated to phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4).
2. The antiserum diluted 1:1,000-1:2,000 (in PBS) is allowed to react with the tissue at 37*C for 30 minutes.
3. Using PBS, the tissue is washed for 15 minutes at room temperature and treated sequentially with goat anti-rabbit gamma globulin (diluted 1:20 in PBS) and peroxidase anti-peroxidase complex (diluted 1:100 in PBS) for 30 minutes at 37*C. After each of these steps, the tissue is washed with PBS as before.
4. The final stage of the reaction is treatment of the section with a mixture of 3,3′ -diamin-benzidine HCl (0.02%) in hydrogen peroxide (0.004%). For preservation, the sections are dehydrated, cleared and mounted.
IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE
STAINING:
1. Same as Step 1 above.
2. The tissue is reacted with the antiserum, diluted 1:20-1:40 in (PBS) for 30 minutes at 37*C.
3. After washing off the excess antiserum with PBS, the section is treated with fluoroscein-labeled goat anti-rabbit gamma globulin serum (diluted 1:10 in PBS) for 30 minutes at 37*C. The tissue is washed with PBS and after mounting under saline-glycerol, is viewed with a fluorescence microscope.

Biochem/physiol Actions
The antiserum provided has been evaluated for its ability to stain serotonin-containing structures in the ileum of man. Staining is positive using both the immunoperoxidase or immunofluorescence procedures.
Physical form
Liquid antiserum. Contains 0.1% sodium azide.
Preparation Note
Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Monoaminergic neurotransmitters regulate different components of sexual behaviors, but how the different monoaminergic cell groups selectively regulate these behaviors is not well understood. We examined the potential contribution of these different cell groups in the control of different aspects of

Trichogramma evanescens parasitic wasps show large phenotypic plasticity in brain and body size, resulting in a 5-fold difference in brain volume among genetically identical sister wasps. Brain volume scales linearly with body volume in these wasps. This isometric brain scaling

The embryonic skin of Xenopus tadpoles serves as an experimental model system for mucociliary epithelia (MCE) such as the human airway epithelium. MCEs are characterized by the presence of mucus-secreting goblet and multiciliated cells (MCCs). A third cell type, ion-secreting

Histological sections of primary segmental arteries and associated interarterial anastomoses and secondary vessels from the long-finned eel Anguilla reinhardtii were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Interarterial anastomoses were found to originate from the primary vasculature as depressions through
