The usefulness of classical techniques for sensory nerve ending detection is compromised by intrinsic limitations. The development of immunohistochemical methods has recently produced new information on the innervation pattern in different human tissues. This study presents the results obtained by use of a new antiserum, raised against a new marker of central and peripheral neurons (PGP 9.5), which selectively labels nerve fibers and neuroendocrine (APUD) cells also in human gingiva. The possible application of this method for further researches is also briefly discussed.

Abstract
The usefulness of classical techniques for sensory nerve ending detection is compromised by intrinsic limitations. The development of immunohistochemical methods has recently produced new information on the innervation pattern in different human tissues. This study presents the results obtained by use of a new antiserum, raised against a new marker of central and peripheral neurons (PGP 9.5), which selectively labels nerve fibers and neuroendocrine (APUD) cells also in human gingiva. The possible application of this method for further researches is also briefly discussed.
