Popis: The shoulder capsule and labrum of Japanese macaque monkeys were studied immunohistochemically with the use of antisera against protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and substance P (SP) to further characterize the innervation of the supporting structures of the shoulder joint. With PGP 9.5 immunohistochemistry thick nerve fibers (diameter > or = 10 microm) presumed to be proprioceptive based on topographic location were found to be abundant in the posterior half of the capsule. Thinner fibers (diameter
