Analysis of contractile properties of muscles from rats immunized with purified acetylcholine receptor.

abstract：:Intraplantar (i.pl.) injections of thymulin have been shown to produce hyperalgesia in rats through a prostaglandin E2-dependent mechanism. This study aimed at investigating if such injections can produce sustained activation of spinal neurons by mapping the fos-like-immunoreactivity (FLI) as a marker for this activat...
