Immunohistochemical characteristics of neurones innervating the porcine uterus located in paracervical ganglia were studied with a combination of retrograde fluorescent tracing and immunofluorescence. Retrograde fluorescent tracer Fast Blue (FB) was injected into the uterine horn and uterine cervix. The presence of biologically active substances, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), neuropeptide Y (NPY), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), galanin (GAL), Met-enkephalin-Arg-GlyLeu (MEAGL) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was studied in FBpositive neurones localised in paracervical ganglia. FB-positive neurones containing TH, NPY, VIP and MEAGL were numerous, while those containing CGRP were scarce. The results pointed to some species-related differences in immunohistochemical coding of neurones of paracervical ganglion responsible for uterus innervation.
