Several groups have produced and characterized anti-5-HT1A antibodies intended for immunocytochemistry, raised against synthetic peptides (14-19) or fusion proteins (20,21) corresponding to portions of the sequence of the human or rat 5-HT receptors. Until now, however, only the polyclonal antibodies produced and characterized in Michel Hamon s laboratory (14,15) have fully demonstrated their specificity and usefulness for immunocytochemistry at both the light and electron microscopic levels.
