Fig. 2. PRXamide-like immunoreactivity (PRXa-LI) in fifth-instar R. prolixus. Dorsal views of (A) brain, (B) sub-oesophageal ganglion (SOG), (C) prothoracic ganglion and (D) the mesothoracic ganglionic mass (MTGM). In A, putative lateral neurosecretory cells and medial neurosecretory cells are indicated by open and filled arrows, respectively. In B, note the strong immunoreactivity in putative neurohaemal sites on the dorsal vessel (open arrows) and light staining over the corpus cardiacum (filled arrow). In C, note the numerous medial processes with PRXa-LI that originate in the SOG and project into the MTGM. In D, note the lateral paired cells (open arrows) and the processes originating from the ventral paired neurosecretory cells (filled arrows). Scale bar, 100 µm.
