Glutamate immunoreactivity in non-neuronal cells of the sea anemone Metridium senile.

From: The Biological Bulletin | Date: August 1, 1994| Author: | Copyright information

The distribution of glutamate in the tentacles and oral disk of the sea anemone Metridium senile was investigated by wholemount immunohistochemistry with the use of a monoclonal antibody raised against the derivatization product [gamma]-L-glutamyl-L-glutamic acid. Immunoreactivity was localized in one class of tentacle nematocysts and on their associated threads. These nematocysts were concentrated at the distal end of tentacles, none being found at the base of tentacles or in the oral disk. Muscle end-feet of epitheliomuscular cells also stained in the longitudinal muscle of tentacle ...
