Transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1) containing nerves are implicated in cough
and bronchoconstriction although the significance of their documentation on non-neuronal
cells is unclear. We have investigated the anatomical distribution and location of TRPV1 in
an animal species often utilized in models of cough and airway inflammation. The
distribution and localization of TRPV1 immunoreactivity in the lung was studied using
confocal microscopy. Double labelling were carried out using the panaxonal marker, protein …
