Abstract
The rat striatum after dopamine denervation followed by repeated apomorphine treatment was examined for the co-expression of c-fos and Fos-related antigens with dynorphin, substance P and [Met5]enkephalin using Western blot and immunohistochemical techniques. Administration of apomorphine, a dopamine agonist, elevated the level of 35 kDa Fos-related antigen which co-localized with dynorphin and substance P, but not enkephalin, in striatal neurons.
