Co-localization of SCPB-like and FMRFamide-like immunoreactivities in crustacean nervous systems.

Abstract

A monoclonal antibody to the molluscan small cardioactive peptide SCPB and a polyclonal antibody to FMRFamide were used to localize antigens in the stomatogastric nervous system and brain of two species of Cancer. Both antibodies labeled cell bodies, axons, and neuropilar processes in the brain and in the stomatogastric nervous system. All of the SCPB immunoreactive neurons were co-labeled with antibody to FMRFamide. However, antibody to FMRFamide labeled additional neurons of the commissural ganglion and the brain that were not immunoreactive to the monoclonal SCPB antibody.
