How can you use “nkb” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Our data are in agreement with previous results described in the rat brainstem, using radioimmunoassay techniques [ 29 30 ] . Thus, these latter authors found higher levels of NKA and lower levels of NKB in both the midbrain and the medulla oblongata of the rat [ 30 ] . In both regions of the human brainstem, we observed a high density of NK-ir structures.
Several studies have shown the distribution of NKA (preprotachykinin A mRNA) [ 12 ] and NKB (peptide-2; preprotachykinin B mRNA) [ 14 16 17 20 ] in the CNS of the rat.
Thus, the differences found in the distribution of both neuroactive substances in the human brainstem could be due to the intraneuronal segregation transport of the peptides and/or the different processing of the precursor [see [ 31 ] ]. Another possibility could be that the immunoreactivity observed in those nuclei of the human brainstem in which NK-ir structures, but not SP, are found is due to NKB (the antibody used here also recognizes NKB).
In addition, taking together the results of the other four works [ 14 16 17 20 ] , it also seems that neurons expressing NKB are more widely distributed in the rat brainstem than those observed containing NK in the human brainstem.
6B; 10A; 11A,11B), since the distribution of NKB is much less widespread in the human brainstem, in comparison with the distribution found for NKA(personal observation obtained after using a very specific rabbit anti-NKB antibody from Peninsula).
