Substance P-immunoreactive nerves in the human cornea and iris

K Tervo, T Tervo, L Eranko, A Vannas, AC Cuello and O Eranko

Human corneas and irides obtained from corneal surgery or sector iridectomies were processed according to the indirect immunofluorescence technique for the demonstration of substance P (SP) immunofluorescence by means of a monoclonal SP antibody. SP immunofluorescence was observed in varicose fibers of the corneal epithelium and nerve trunks in the corneal stroma. SP-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the iris were detected mainly in the pupillary margin in both dilator and sphincter areas.
