Abstract
Having prepared antisera to serotonin and to melatonin, the authors were able to show that, in the pineal gland, the behaviour of these two antisera in immunohistochemical studies differs. The antiserum raised against 5HT, actually bound to the molecule formed by condensation of formaldehyde on 5HT and therefore could be used to reveal 5HT in tissue fixed with formaldehyde. On the other hand, the anti-melatonin antiserum bound to melatonin, and could therefore be used to reveal its presence in fresh tissue.Entities:
