Abstract
Antisera raised against ACTH (1–39), β-endorphin and the 16K proopiocortin were used, in association with the immunoperoxidase reaction, to localize positively-staining cell bodies and nerve fibres in the hypothalamus of the rat. Antigens, cross-reactive against anti-ACTH (1–39) serum were detected in a fibre system in the rostro-dorsal hypothalamus situated between the optic chiasm and the third ventricle while immunoreactive 16K-like material was present in fibres localized in the caudal hypothalamus, dorso-lateral to the arcuate nucleus. This latter system was also associated with the appearance of ACTH (1–39) and ACTH (17–39) immunoreactivity.
