Neuroendocrine (NE) Cells in Rat Neonatal Lungs. A Histochemical and Immunocytochemical Study

Summary A study has been carried out to determine the presence of NE cells in the newborn rat lung. The localization of these cell was achieved by an argyrophil method. Both single NE and NEB, were found. Immunoperoxidase techniques were performed to determine NSE, serotonin and calcitonin production in these NE formations.
