Fig. 6. Displacement curves of125I-[Ac-His-1]-PACAP(1-27) to tissue sections of a human thymus (A) and a human lymph node (B). Tissue sections are incubated with 15,000 cpm/100 μL radioligand and increasing concentrations of PACAP(1-27) (▴) and VIP (▪), or somatostatin (SS-14) (•) at a concentration of 100 nmol/L. Nonspecific binding was subtracted from all values. In all cases, complete displacement of the ligand is achieved by VIP and PACAP. SS-14 was inactive in the nanomolar range.
