Effect of multiple dorsal rhizotomies on calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity in the lumbosacral dorsal spinal cord of the cat: a radioimmunoassay …
RJ Traub, MJ Iadarola, MA Ruda - Peptides, 1989 - Elsevier
Calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) was measured by
radioimmunoassay in the cat lumbosacral dorsal spinal cord following unilateral dorsal
rhizotomy of 5 consecutive dorsal roots. The dorsal rhizotomies greatly reduced but did not
eliminate the CGRP-LI from the ipsilateral rhizotomized segments. The amount of CGRP-LI
remaining in the rhizotomized segments was greatest in the most caudal segment (846±311
pmoles/g tissue) and decreased below 300 pmoles/g tissue in the remaining segments …
