Chromogranin A in the human gastrointestinal tract: an immunocytochemical study with region-specific antibodies
Guida Maria Portela-Gomes et al. J Histochem Cytochem. 2002 Nov.
Abstract
We studied the immunoreactivity of 12 different region-specific antibodies to the chromogranin A (CgA) molecule in the various neuroendocrine cell types of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract by using double immunofluorescence techniques. These staining results were compared with others obtained with a commercial monoclonal CgA antibody (LK2H10). G (gastrin)-cells showed immunoreactivity to virtually all region-specific antibodies, but with varying frequency. Most intestinal EC (enterochromaffin)- and L (enteroglucagon)-cells were immunoreactive to the antibodies to the N-terminal and mid-portion of the CgA molecule, whereas the EC-cells in the stomach reacted with fewer region-specific antibodies. D (somatostatin)-cells reacted to the CgA 411-424 antibody and only occasionally showed immunoreactivity to the other CgA antibodies. A larger cytoplasmic area was stained with the antibodies to CgA 17-38 and 176-195 than with the other antibodies tested. These differences in staining pattern may reflect different cleavage of the CgA molecule in different cell types and at different regions of the GI tract.
