We investigated in light microscopy the whole-mount preparations of the layers of the guinea-pig small intestine by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method using an antiserum to S-100 protein. There was a delicate network of the S-1OO protein immunopositive cel1s (S-1OO cells) extending in the subserous plexus, longitudinal muscle layer, Auerbach's plexus, circular muscle layer including the deep muscular plexus, submucous layer including the Meissner's plexus, lamina muscularis mucosae and lamina propria mucosae. We propose that the cellular network composed of the S-1OO cells forms the skeleton of the enteric nervous system. This network, as the trellis holding the grape-vines, provides a framework for supporting the processes of the enteric neurons.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {腸管神経叢の骨格 : モルモット小腸のS-l00蛋白免疫陽性細胞に関する研究から}, volume = {2}, year = {1985} }
