    Notizen: Abstract  Immunocytochemical methods with an antiserum against neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were applied to identify the morphology and synaptic connectivity of NOS-like immunoreactive neurons in the guinea pig retina. In the present study, two types of amacrine cells were labeled with anti-NOS antisera. Type 1 cells had large somata located in the inner nuclear layer (INL) with long, sparsely branched processes ramifying mainly in stratum 3 of the inner plexiform layer (IPL). The somata of type 2 cells (smaller diameters) were located in the INL. Some displaced amacrine cells in the ganglion cell layer were labeled. The soma size of the displaced amacrine cells was similar to that of the type 2 amacrine cells. However, processes originating from type 2 amacrine cells and displaced amacrine cells stratified mainly in strata 1 and 5, respectively. Some cone bipolar cells were weakly NOS-immunoreactive. The synaptic connectivity of NOS-like immunoreactive amacrine cells was identified in the IPL by electron microscopy. NOS-labeled amacrine cell processes received synaptic input from other amacrine cell processes and bipolar cell axon terminals in all strata of the IPL. The most frequent postsynaptic targets of NOS-immunoreactive amacrine cells were other amacrine cell processes. Cone bipolar cells were postsynaptic to NOS-labeled amacrine cells in all strata of the IPL. Labeled amacrine cells synapsing onto ganglion cells were found only in sublamina b. A few synaptic contacts were observed between labeled cell processes. In the outer plexiform layer, dendrites of labeled bipolar cells made basal contact with cone pedicles or formed a synaptic triad opposed to a synaptic ribbon of cone pedicles.

    Notizen: Abstract. We examined dopaminergic neurons in the guinea pig retina; antisera against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH), phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) and an antiserum against γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were used. In the present study, two types of amacrine cells were labeled with an anti-TH antiserum. However, no DBH and PNMT immunoreactivities were seen. The type 1 cell had a larger-sized soma located in the inner nuclear layer with processes ramifying mainly in stratum 1 of the inner plexiform layer (IPL). The type 2 cell had a smaller-sized soma and processes branching in stratum 3 of the IPL. The mean densities were 56.4±11.5/mm2 for the type 1 cell and 166.6±30.3/mm2 for the type 2 cell. Double immunocytochemistry using an antiserum against GABA revealed that while none of the type 1 cells showed GABA immunoreactivity, all of the type 2 cells displayed GABA immunoreactivity. Our results suggest that, in the guinea pig retina, the type 1 amacrine cells are pure dopaminergic and the type 2 cells are dopaminergic elements that use GABA as their second transmitter.
