Abstract
A specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay measured the presence of immunoreactive neurokinin A within feline and human pial arteries. Immunoreactivity exhibited a retention time identical to that of synthetic peptide when acid extracts from feline and human blood vessels were subjected to reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. As shown previously for substance P, levels of immunoreactive neurokinin A decreased significantly in the vessels from the ipsilateral rostral circle of Willis 19-24 days following unilateral trigeminal ganglionectomy. Hence, trigeminal projections to cerebral blood vessels contain both products of beta-preprotachykinin mRNA.Entities:
