Popis: The enkephalin-like immunoreactive material which is stored in primary cultures of bovine chromaffin cells is released spontaneously when these cells are transferred from the culture medium to the Krebs-Ringer buffer. Potassium (56 mM) and acetylcholine (10−4M) increase this rate of spontaneous release in a Ca2+ dependent fashion. Preliminary evidence indicates that nicotinic receptors are operative in mediating the release of enkephalin-like peptides elicited by acetylcholine.
