In order to investigate the interaction between the nervous and immune systems, we have analyzed the effect of one of the neuropeptides, pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP), on microglia cells by the patch-clamp method. Puff application of PACAP38 onto mouse microglial cells i
The biochemical characteristics and the distribution of pituitary adenylate cyclaseactivating polypeptide (PACAP) binding sites have been investigated in the brain of the frog Rana ridibunda by using [ 125 I]PACAP27 as a radioligand. Membrane-binding studies revealed the existence of high-affinity r
Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a recently discovered neuropeptide which is present both in the central and peripheral nervous system of adult rats. Here we show that PACAP is also expressed by dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons of embryonic and newborn rats. To chara
