Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy on the Distribution of Neural Nitric Oxide Synthase (nNOS)-immunoreactive Nerves in the Chicken Harderian Gland

Nitrergic innervation of the chicken Harderian gland was investigated by using immunohistochemistry for neural nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and a confocal laser scanning microscope. Immunoreactivity for nNOS was detected on nerve elements in the pterygopalatine ganglion and the Harderian gland. Most...
