Carboxy- and amino-terminal specific neurotensin antisera were characterized and used to determine the nature of neurotensin-like immunoreactivity in the rat CNS. Using these antisera, together with the separation of neurotensin-like immunoreactivity on reverse-phase HPLC [high-pressure liquid chromatography] columns, it is clear that the majority of rat CNS neurotensin-like immunoreactivity is indistinguishable from the sysnthetic tridecapeptide. Smaller amounts of carboxy- and amino-terminal neurotensin-like immunoreactivity were detected, which may correspond to carboxy- and amino-terminal fragments of neurotensin. Using the amino-terminal directed neurotension antiserum, a detailed distribution of neurotensin-like immunoreactivity in the rat CNS is described. Highest amounts were found in the hypothalamus, central amygdaloid nucleus, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the substantia gelatinosa of the spinal cord and of the trigeminal region.
