Summary Using a monoclonal antibody against dopamine and a rabbit antiserum against serotonin, 5-methoxytryptamine or tryptamine, we were able to achieve the simultaneous localization of two amines in glutaraldehyde-fixed sections of rat dorsal raphe nuclei. In this staining procedure, the first antigen was localized using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB), while the second antigen was stained using the 1-naphtol basic dye (2-NBD) method. The two antigens were localized in different cells or structures. No overlap of the staining was observed, thus indicating that dopamine is not localized with serotonin, 5-methoxytryptamine or tryptamine.
