Capsaicin-sensitive, substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) has been detected recently in rat thymus. Other tachykinins are frequently present with SP. In the present study, tachykinin-like immunoreactivity (TK-LI) was measured in guinea-pig, rat, mouse and hamster thymus with the amount detectable being greatest in guinea-pig, less in rat and least in mouse; it was not detectable in hamsters. In guinea-pig and rat thymus, but not in mouse, TK-LI was markedly reduced by pretreatment with capsaicin. TK-LI levels correlated significantly with those of SP-LI in both guinea-pig and rat thymus. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fractions considered to represent neurokinin A, eledoisin and neuropeptide K were present in guinea-pig thymus but only the first two were present in rat thymus.
