Abstract

The presence of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was investigated in neuroretina sections from hatching quail embryos by immunocytochemistry. The photoreceptors were found to be intensely immunoreactive to anti-GAD antiserum and to two distinct anti-GABA antisera.
