Immunohistochemical Localization of Somatostatin Receptor sst2A in Human Gut and Lung Tissue: Possible Implications for Physiology and Carcinogenesis

: Many neuroendocrine gastrointestinal and lung tumors express sst2A somatostatin receptors. Because the cellular location of sst2A in the corresponding non‐neoplastic tissue is unknown, we searched for sst2A immuno‐reactive cells and characterized their type in these tissues using a highly specific...
