Fig. 9. ANP immunolocalisation in the ventricle of isolated amphibian heart
perfused with isoproterenol (ISO) and various adrenoceptor antagonists or
SB203580. Hearts were perfused under normal conditions (A) and with 50 µmol
l-1 of ISO for 5 min in the absence (B) or presence of either 10
µmol l-1 prazosin (C), 1 µmol l-1 propranolol (D)
or 1 µmol l-1 SB203580 (E). Cryosections were incubated with an
antibody specific for human ANP (1-28) (1:500 dilution) and counterstained
with Haematoxylin. Immunoreaction deposits for ANP were visualised with Fast
Red chromogen. Representative photographs from three independent experiments
are shown. Bar, 20 µm.
