A3 immunoreactivity in enteric neurons of the rodent distal colon. Visualization of A3-immunoreactive neurons in rat distal colon myenteric plexus (A–H). Neurons with Dogiel type II morphology and multiple long processes as well as uniaxonal neurons express A3-immunoreactivity. I: negative control. Arrowheads, Dogiel type II neurons; arrows, Dogiel type I neurons. J–L: A3-immunoreactivity is expressed in guinea pig myenteric and submucous neurons. Arrows, positive neurons; SMP, submucosa; MP, myenteric plexus; calibration bar, 40 μm (see methods for details).
