Abstract
The cells that express Steel factor (SLF) in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract were studied using SLF-lacZ transgenic mice. Expression, detected by beta-galactosidase histochemistry, was evident in cells between the circular and longitudinal muscle layers in the GI tract. Double staining with antibodies specific for the neural markers, PGP 9.5, MAP2 and c-Ret, showed that SLF-lacZ positive cells were enteric neurons. Enteroglia did not express SLF-lacZ. The distribution of expressing cells was complimentary to the expression of c-Kit in myenteric interstitial cells.Entities:
