Double immunofluorescent staining confirmed co-expression of somatostatin (neuropeptide) and antigen-presenting cells of macrophage origin expressing major histocompatibility complex class II molecules in the intact thymus. The results confirmed cooperation of the neuropeptide and immunocompetent systems.
