    I have had great success with antibodies to TH and DBH from Eugene Tech. on
formalin-fixed frozen or cryostat sections of rat or mouse tissues. I use the
Vector or Vector Elite kits for detection.
    My impression is that there are several (or more) companies supplying good
antibodies to these enzymes.
