M. Massonpevet et al., DEMONSTRATION OF MELATONIN-BINDING SITES IN CYCLOHEXYLAMINE-FORMALDEHYDE-FIXED BRAIN-TISSUES, Cell and tissue research, 274(1), 1993, pp. 207-209
This study shows for the first time that perfusion of rat or hamster b
rain with a cyclohexylamine-paraformaldehyde mixture makes possible th
e observation by autoradiography of melatonin binding sites in structu
rally well-preserved fixed tissues. This result is a first step in the
identification of melatonin-receptor-containing cell types by cytoaut
oradiography.
