Brain research, 2001•ElsevierCircumstantial evidence suggests that binding sites for the plant lectin Bandeiraea
simplicifolia I-isolectin B4 are expressed by nociceptive primary sensory neurones. In order
to test this hypothesis directly, we have used a combination of intracellular staining of
functionally characterised primary sensory neurones and lectin binding. Consistent with the
hypothesis, none of the low threshold primary sensory neurones we sampled expressed
lectin binding sites, whilst a subpopulation of the nociceptive neurones did.
