Close association of peptidergic nerves with lymphocytes in canine and monkey ileal villi.

Intimate association of peptidergic nerves with lymphocytes of canine and monkey ileal villi was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscopy. A swollen, presumably terminal, portion of nerves containing large cored vesicles and small clear vesicles was in direct contact with a lymphocyte. The apposing membranes of the nerve and lymphocyte were thickened and darkened, being separated by a narrow uniform space. The lymphocyte-associated nerves contained immunoreactivity for substance P(SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), localized in large-cored vessels. These result support the hypothesis that peptidergic nerves may play a regulatory role in mucosal immune responses.
