NO nerves and their targets in a tapeworm: An immunocytochemical study of cGMP in Hymenolepis diminuta

We studied the pattern of cGMP immunostaining (IS) after stimulation with a nitric oxide donor in the presence of an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase in adult Hymenolepis diminuta. cGMP-IS was detected in the peripheral nervous system, especially in nerve fibres close to the body muscle fibres. cGMP-I...

Zusammenfassung:	We studied the pattern of cGMP immunostaining (IS) after stimulation with a nitric oxide donor in the presence of an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase in adult Hymenolepis diminuta. cGMP-IS was detected in the peripheral nervous system, especially in nerve fibres close to the body muscle fibres. cGMP-IS also occurred in terminals beneath the basal lamina of the tegument and between the muscle fibres of the suckers. The pattern of cGMP-IS was compared to that of 5-HT-IS and GYIRFamide-IS. TRITC-conjugated phalloidin was used to stain the musculature.
