Tuftsin (an Ig-associated tetrapeptide) triggers the immunogenic function of macrophages: implications for activation of programmed cells.

abstract：:8-L-Arginine vasopressin ([Arg8]VP) receptors are expressed transiently in the rat facial nucleus during the perinatal period. Electrophysiological studies suggest that at least part of these receptors is located on facial motoneurones. In the present study we report that, in the adult rat, unilateral section of a fac...
