Substance P (SP)‐ergic neurons from 16/17 day‐embryonic rat brain stem in primary culture were identified by immunocytochemistry using biotinylated avidine and phosphatase alcaline methods with affinity‐purified anti‐SP antibodies. An average of 84% of neurons contained SP from day 9 to day 21 after plating. These in vitro data show that SP‐containing neurons develop in our culture conditions. SP may act as a maturation factor as well as a neurotransmitter.
