By use of the indirect immunoperoxidase method, the brain, the suboesophageal ganglion and the corpora cardiaca of the dragonfly Aeschna cyanea have been shown to be immunoreactive to proctolin antiserum and to several mammalian peptide antisera including unsulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8 NS) (Andries et al. 1989), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), human somatoliberin (hGRF) (Andries et al. 1984) and motilin antisera. Immunohistochemical studies have been performed on material fixed in a solution of picric-acid paraformaldehyde or in Bouin Hollande's sublimate solution. Antisera were applied on alternate sections or, according to the elution-restaining method of Tramu et al. (1978), one after another on the same section. Multiple peptide immunoreactivities appear expressed in the brain and the suboesophageal ganglion. Cells reactive to both hGRF and VIP antisera show also gastrin/CCK-like immunoreactivity and some of them are also detected by motilin antiserum. Besides, some cells immunopositive to CCK-8 NS and motilin antisera do not show hGRF or VIP immunoreactivity. At last, two pairs of protocerebral cells appear immunoreactive to both CCK-8 NS and proctolin antisera. Therefore, the present observations support our previously developed idea (Andries et al. 1989) that the population of CCK-like cells is heterogenous.
