Summary A polyclonal antiserum was prepared against an N-terminal modified Cam-HrTH-II (Leu-Asn-Phe-...), one of the members of the large AKH/RPCH peptide family, first isolated from Carausius morosus. The localisation of this peptide was performed by means of immunocytochemical methods in the brain and corpora cardiaca-corpora allata complex of the stick insect, Carausius morosus and the grey fleshfly, Sarcophaga bullata. The distribution patterns of molecules reactive to the Cam-HrTH-II and the LomAKH-I antisera in both insect species were compared. In Carausius, both antisera reacted in the same cell bodies. In Sarcophaga, some neurons were stained by both, others only by one of the two antisera. By combining two different antisera, we demonstrated that there are no Lom-AKH-I-like molecules present in Carausius and that there must occur at least three different AKH-like molecules in the brain of Sarcophaga. One is similar to Cam-HrTH-II, the second to Lom-AKH-I and the third is an AKH/RPCH-like peptide, different from Lom-AKH-I and Cam-HrTH-II. 相似文献

Three myotropic peptides belonging to the Arg-amide insect tachykinin family were isolated from whole-body extracts of the mosquito, Culex salinarius. The peptides, APSGFMGMR-NH2, APYGFTGMR-NH2 and APSGFFGMR-NH2 (designated culetachykinin I, II, and III) were isolated and purified on the basis of their ability to stimulate muscle contractions of isolated Leucophaea maderae hindgut. Biologically inactive methionine sulfoxides of two of the three peptides were isolated using an ELISA system based upon antiserum raised against APYGFTGMR-NH2 and identified with mass spectrometry. Immunocytochemistry localized these peptides in cells in the brain, antennae, subesophageal, thoracic and abdominal ganglion, proventriculus and midgut. Nerve tracts containing these peptides were found in the median nerve of the brain, central body, nervi corpus cardiaci, cervical nerve, antennal lobe and on the surface of the midgut. 相似文献

An antiserum against an achetakinin analog selectively localized leucokinin VIII (LKVIII) in the CNS ofLeucophaea maderae. Preabsorption studies of the achetakinin antiserum with either preimmune serum or LKVIII prevented a positive reaction in both ELISA and immunocytochemical procedures. LKVIII immunoreactive neurons were found in the brain, frontal, and subesophageal ganglion, all 3 thoracic ganglia and the terminal ganglion. Nerves originating from the thoracic and terminal abdominal ganglia contain LKVIII material. Lateral and medial neurosecretory cells synthesizing LKVIII-like products contribute axons to the nervi corporis cardiaci that terminate in neurohemal sites in the corpora cardiaca and nervi corporis allati. Thus, leucokinin VIII, like leucokinin I (LKI) and leucomyosuppressin (LMS), appears to have both a neurohemal and neurotransmitter mode of regulating target cells inL. maderae. 相似文献
