Abstract

We carried out an immunohistochemical study of the Auerbach's and Meissner's plexuses of the human alimentary tract, using antiserum against tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a rate-limiting enzyme of the catecholamine-synthesizing pathway. TH-immunoreactive intrinsic neuronal cell bodies were observed in both plexuses in almost all parts of the alimentary tract, being most frequent in the Auerbach's plexus of the lower esophagus.
