FMRFamide-like peptide (FLP)-11 is localised to two neuronal cell bodies associated with reproductive muscle and the ventral nerve cord (VC) in Ascaris suum. Immunocytochemistry images showing FLP-11 localisation in the region of the A. suum reproductive apparatus. (A) Two FLP-11 (anti-NGAPQFPVRFamide) immunoreactive (IR; green) cell bodies (arrows) located at the base of the ovijector in the region of the vagina vera muscle (VV; counterstained red), in close proximity to the FLP-11 positive VC which runs parallel to the VV/body wall junction. (B) Two FLP-11-IR neuronal processes (NP) extending from the cell body (arrow) and innervating the VV muscle. Somatic muscle (SM) is also counterstained red (A, B). Scale bars: A = 30 μm, B = 14 μm.
